You don't need to modify setup1.vbp at all. In PDW, at the Start Menu Items
step, click on the group name and then click the Properties command button.
You should have option buttons to select either a private or common NT
group. Select common. Repeat this for any other groups that you may have
(not likely you will, but it's possible).
You could also manually edit the SETUP.LST file. Open this file in Notepad
or any text editor. Find the [IconGroups] section and add (or modify) the
following line:
PrivateGroup0=0
Save the file. You'll need to make this change after each time you run PDW,
though, so it's much better to do set it within PDW itself.
