Hey guys,

in my current project I have created a very simple Sitecore client application to manage newsletter (I will write a documentation how to work with xaml hopefully soon.). After the whole application work I want to link this app in the Sitecore start menu for every user.

If you want to do this, you have to:

• Go to the core database
• Open: /sitecore/content/Documents and settings/All users/Start menu/Left
• Create a “Application shortcut”
• Fill the fields: Display name, Tool tip and apply security rights (if you want to enable this link just for groups or user)

Now the tricky part: The “Application” field:

• Click on Insert Link
• Select your desired app
• Click “OK”

So far, everything is fine. If your link don’t show up. Go to the view ribbon, click on “Raw values” and go to the application field.

Change this:

<link text="Demo App" linktype="internal" url="/Applications/Demo App.aspx" id="{007BA8C3-3C1D-4569-90B1-DC7F0A0A4689}" />

To:

<link text="Demo App" linktype="internal" url="/Applications/Demo App" />

So remove the “.aspx” and the id parameter, and save. After this change and a reload of the client your link should show up in the start menu.
