Windows XP has introduced a feature that automatically highlights newly installed programs in the Start Menu. Because it's automatic, there's no API function you need to call or registry value you need to modify to get your program highlighted too.
So how do you get it highlighted? Very simple, add a version information resource to it. If you create a shortcut to an executable with a version resource, it will be highlighted and show a nice balloon informing the user of the new program.
