This worked for me. Open the network folder where the app is. Right click the app's EXE, copy. Click the windows orb, Right click All Programs, Open. Navigate to where you want the network app to be. Right click and Paste Shortcut.

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?
