option to disable new shortcut highlight

[Unregistered]

Is there a way to disable highlighting of newly installed shortcuts on a per-shortcut basis?

Hello,

No, Windows does not allow this and there is no way to enable/disable it programmatically.

This is what I used to do before switching to SetupBuilder:

Hello,

Unfortunately, the Windows (Shortcut) APIs do not support this:

But it seems to me that an Application User Model ID (AppUserModelID) used to associate processes, files, and windows with a particular application can handle this.

We'll do some research on this and get back to you. Thanks for the interesting question.

Hello,

We have added a new "Do not highlight as a newly-installed program" option to the Shortcut properties.

Thank you for your great suggestion. It will be available in the next build.
