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?
