In Woody’s article, ‘The Windows Start menu super guide — Part I’, he mentions:”When you right-click a Taskbar icon, you get the jump list — and there is no option to Pin to Start Menu. But there’s a trick. All the items on your Taskbar are stored as shortcuts in the folder c:usersyour nameAppDataRoamingMicrosoftInternet ExplorerQuick LaunchUser PinnedTaskBar. ”
Just wanted to mention that this is close, but not quite. I decided to follow Woody’s advice, and go looking for this mysterious folder (found the folder), but my currently-running app wasn’t in there. It wasn’t until I right-clicked on the taskbar entry and chose “Pin this program to taskbar” did I find the newly-created shortcut in the folder mentioned above. _Then_ I could right-click on the new shortcut, and “Pin to Start Menu”.Thanks for the tip, Woody.
I have a program that constantly defies my searching for it (uTorrent, becaus the “u” isn’t a “u”), and this solves that problem.
But Woody could have made it clear that he was talking there about items pinned to the task bar, not just appearing there temporarily.
