You might want to try looking in the "steamapps\common" subdirectory of
wherever you installed Steam for the Shogun 2 executable.  There will be
something like a "shogun_2_total_war" directory in there and something
like a "Shogun2.exe" will be in that directory.  If double clicking on
that executable starts up the game correctly, then drag the icon on to
the start menu to create a shortcut to it.

Make sure it creates a shortcut and doesn't just copy the executable
to your start menu, as that won't work.  You might need to right drag
the icon to your desktop and select create shortcut, and then drag the
shortcut to the start menu.  I'm not sure how Windows XP handles draging
directly to the start menu.

I should also note that this doesn't work for me with my Steam copy of
Rome: Total War Gold, but it works with every other Steam game I've tried.
When I try it with Rome it complains that it can't find Steam and then
opens the Steam WWW page in my browser.  It possible that Shogun 2 also
shares this problem.
