Programs do not install links to the correct startmenu folder. During installation a new startmenu folder named "programs" is created. Yet the correct path should be
\startmen~\programme
In fact it is \startmenü\programme, but the "ü" doesn't seem to be a problem, probably because of the 8.3 convention of filenames.
But now a consequence of this is, that iReboot does not install to the correct startup folder, since this is called
\startmen~\programme\autostart
