This worked! Thanks very much, Terry. Very odd way to have to do it, but it 
does work.

Thanks again,

Evan

I have an app that is just as bad, but here is what I did.  I copied the exe to 
the local computer, then pinned the to the start menu, or taskbar, or wherever 
you want.  Then changed the item you just pinned, and removed exe from local 
drive.  I would love to see another way because I am stuck with this app for 
the foreseeable future.

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
