No "Pin to Start Menu"

azwiley1

Hello all, need a little help, I am running Vista at work now (from XP)
and some of the apps I use daily do not have a Pin to start menu option.
I am using the default (not the Classic) start menu.

Is there any way to hack the registry or anything to allow me to pin
them?

Thanks for all the help.

Are the programs installed on your own system?
Do the programs appear in your start/ programs list? If not then you
probably do not have the pin to option.

Hello Azxiley,

Have you pressed and held the "SHIFT" key, then right clicked on the
app to see if "Pin to Start Menu" appears then? Sometimes this may be
required.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I had not but just tried and still no luck.
As an example of one of the apps I use daily and would like to pin is
the AD Users and Computers part of the Server Admin Pack. Odd the a MS
tool wont let me, but thrid party apps like Dameware did.

You might see if creating a shortcut of that app, then pin the shortcut
to the Start Menu will allow you to.

So far I have tried all the suggestions here, as well as two provided by
MS support and none of them are allowing me to pin these apps, or their
short cuts to the start menu in the default view. In classic view I can
just drag the short cut up to the very top and no problem, but I don't
want to use that view.
