Start menu items don't set endorsed dir

           Summary: Start menu items don't set endorsed dir
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.24
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: peter@emailross.com


The install jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24-LE-jdk14.exe places the items "Start Tomcat"
and "Stop Tomcat" into the windows start menu.  These items *DON'T* refer to the
startup.bat and shutdown.bat scripts, so don't set the java.libs.endorsed directory.

This leads to some problems because all the documentation states that
common/endorsed is the location to place jars which need to be endorsed.

The workaround is to set JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment variables, and
then change the shortcuts to point to startup.bat and shutdown.bat.
