Yes, I will do; why should I read the docu for you? OK, I have
not to do it because I have done it years ago and I have
a valid spec file now...

This is the behavior all people expect.

Following my ShortcutSpec.xml for our admin clients as example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

<shortcuts>

  <skipIfNotSupported />

  <programGroup defaultName="Xtrend" location="applications"/>

  <shortcut
     name="Administration"
     programGroup="yes"
     desktop="yes"
     applications="no"
     startMenu="no"
     startup="no"
     target="$INSTALL_PATH\bin\StartAdminClient.cmd"
     commandLine=""
     iconFile="$INSTALL_PATH\icons\admin.ico"
     iconIndex="0"
     initialState="noShow">
   
     <createForPack name="AdministrationClient"/>
--------^  that's it
     
   </shortcut>
  <shortcut
     name="Customizing"
     programGroup="yes"
     desktop="yes"
     applications="no"
     startMenu="no"
     startup="no"
     target="$INSTALL_PATH\bin\StartCustomizingClient.cmd"
     commandLine=""
     iconFile="$INSTALL_PATH\icons\custom.ico"
     iconIndex="0"
     initialState="noShow">
   
     <createForPack name="CustomizingClient"/>
--------^  this shortcut is for an other pack, you see     
   </shortcut>
   
</shortcuts>
