Extracting executable program shortcuts from start menu?

[JeffK]

Does anyone know of an application that will extract from one's start menu onle those shortcuts which link to executable programs?  I remember I did have such a utility once but cannot find it now.

Thanks,  Jeff

Here is an AutoHotKey script that should do the trick...
(BTW this checks both the current user and all users start menu)

[Select]

#SingleInstance Force
#Persistent
#NoEnv
SetBatchLines, -1

SetWorkingDir, %A_StartMenu%
User = %A_StartMenu%
Start:
Loop, *.lnk
{
File = %A_LoopFileFullPath%
FileGetShortcut, %A_LoopFileLongPath%, Var
Loop, %Var%
{
If A_LoopFileExt = exe
Msgbox, %User%`n`n%File% = %Var%
}
}
If User = %A_StartMenuCommon%
ExitApp
SetWorkingDir, %A_StartMenuCommon%
User = %A_StartMenuCommon%
Goto, Start

HTH...

Thank you aCkRiTe.  I have to go to bed now (I am down under).  But I shall run it in the morning.
