If you have windows scripting host installed then it would be easy to
create a VBscript file that that creates a shortcut and excecute this
from java program. I think WScript.Shell Object has a method to create
shortcuts. And you have some sample scripts for creating these shortcuts

Checkout the files
1) c:\windows\SAMPLES\WSH\shortcut.js
and
2) c:\windows\SAMPLES\WSH\shortcut.vbs
They creates a shortcut for notepad on your desktop.
Just create the shorcuts in the startmenu folder to add an item to the
menu
