How does an installer add a shortcut to the profile of existing users and
to Default User? Is that something new in Vista? I imagine you would need a
bunch of ugly code to do that on Windows XP, or do the high-end setup
programs provide this feature?

If you deployed an app from an always-available server share with Group
Policy, you could achieve the above effect. It didn't sound like you were
talking about that.
