How about mapping a drive, then creating the shortcut over the mapped
drive?

Subject: Win 7 Start Menu.... arrrgghhhh

 

Okay, I've Googled this and I've searched through previous threads on
this list, but I cannot seem to find an answer to a question that I'm
sure a ton of people have had.

 

I have an app (home made in PowerBuilder) that runs off a network drive.
I want to add the shortcut to the .exe file to the Start Menu in Windows
7.  But, I can't. I can't drag it. I can't right click and select "Pin
to Start Menu" because that option is not there. The only suggestion
I've seen when I Googled it was to create a folder on the desktop with
the shortcut in it, then create a new toolbar and point it to that
folder. That's rather kludgy.

 

Any way to work around this seemingly bizarre new restriction?

 

Thanks,

 

Evan
