This is all rubbish, not only because it uses a binary registry value and the corresponding shortcut must be in the right place, but also because it can\u2019t even be done via Group Policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Anyone looking into this will find scripts (VB, PowerShell) for it online. Even Citrix has a built-in script to clean up the jump list during login. The PowerShell script has its limitations and is just junk designed to fix Microsoft\u2019s junk\u2014junk used to fix junk. Creating a link based on an EXE is simple, but creating shortcuts with parameters or specific shell commands is a whole different story.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I searched, tried different things, and so on, just to do something simple:\u00a0<b>Add a shortcut to the jump list<\/b>\u00a0for all users of the command line! I had almost given up when I found a simple and\u00a0<b>free tool<\/b>\u00a0found that it met my needs exactly. This little tool is great! It can be launched from a network share and point to a shortcut on a network share. The tool also checks to make sure that a shortcut isn't created twice and automatically deletes the extra link.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Citrix should buy the code and turn it into something useful so that Citrix admins can easily create shortcuts in the Jump List.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0The tool is from Winaero and is called \u201e<b>Pin 8<\/b>\u201cBut they also have something for 7 \ud83d\ude09\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/winaero.com\/comment.php?comment.news.140\">http:\/\/winaero.com\/comment.php?comment.news.140\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft in ihren glorreichsten Momenten hat sich die neue Jump-Liste ausgedacht auf die Objekte (Verkn\u00fcpfungen) &#8222;angeheftet&#8220; werden k\u00f6nnen.
