No, I think he means he wants some method, like a configuration tool or Registry hack, to control which items in the Start menu are highlighted - as he says, like when you install a new application and for the first few invocations, the app is highlighted. As far as I know, there’s no way of doing this. I’ve searched MSDN and I don’t see any clever registry hacks or programmatic ways of doing it even, let alone an admin tool.
