Is there a way to add the menu option when you right click on a Start Menu item (screen shot) and "Add Shortcut to Desktop" as an option? I don't like the drag and drop feature, because it closes the Start Menu every single time.

Yeah, that might have to work if I can't get an option in the Start Menu
