They aren't using pinning, they are using the jump list capabilities. That's different. Besides, there was never a programmatic interface for adding to the quick launch items. It just happened that the backing store for those items was easy to reverse engineer. Brant Gurganus http://gurganus.name

That talks about how to prevent pinning as well as how to control grouping. It isn't talking about how to make an application pinned. Brant Gurganus http://gurganus.name/brant On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 9:52 AM, Gareth wrote: > > This blog suggests it should be possible.  But I've also managed to

[WiX-users] Can you create a shortcut that is "Pinned to Taskbar" in an install?
