ISMONISM (In Start Menu Or Not In Start Menu) is an utility for scanning folders recursively, to find files for which there is no matching shortcut in (a subfolder of) any user-defined folder.

This utility was originally created with the Windows Start Menu in mind. By default it searches for executables (*.exe) in the Program Files folders. However, both the extension(s) to search for and the search folder(s) are user configurable.

It has the ability to create shortcuts of found items in a user configurable 'personal shortcut folder' (By default a subfolder of the Start Menu).
