I have installed an application which is not compatible with Windows 7 within Windows XP Mode and it works well.

How do I get this application into the Windows 7 start menu, so I don't have to load up the Windows XP Mode each time, select Windows XP's start menu, and start the XP application. From videos I've seen, I should be able to add the application to the Windows 7 start menu and load it straight from there.

Windows XP Mode under Windows 7 should create application automatically during installation save some restriction applications which can be modified in a registry list as described below.

There are two registry keys for the application control:

Exclude:

KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtual Machine\VPCVAppExcludeList and

Include:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtual Machine\VPCVAppIncludeList

However, if it's simple something that needs to be manually created that answer is available at [SO Manual Shortcut for XP Mode Application](If the Creating an app shortcut in Windows 7 XP Mode) which describes a manual method for creating shortcuts to launch applications in XP Mode on Windows 7.

Additional Information

The Windows XP Mode locations and installation/usage instructions can be found at Install and use Windows XP Mode.
