ClickOnce applications
« on: September 29, 2011, 07:32 AM »
I noticed today that FARR was unable to find a new application I installed, even though it was in the start menu.

After a little poking around, I found it is because it was a ClickOncew application, which uses a file with extension 'appref-ms' to launch instead of a regular 'lnk'.

I added appref-ms to the extension search for the start menu, which works fine :Thmbsup:.
