You can of course pin any existing shortcut to the start menu, but very recently I discovered that some shortcuts just can't be pinned to the taskbar depending on the application. To make this process more clear and easy you can always start with an empty one to gather the XML connected with shortcut piece in detail.įYI. For any other kind of shortcut, just pin it to the start menu by right clicking, then export the start menu layout and look up the pinned shortcut in the above location. Just test it out and of course apply the policies in the right order. in order to make DesktopApplicationID="F:\" work you will need to create a shortcut with target set as F:\ below path %AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. Same as the start layout policy done by using the Group Policy Editor and best together with the needed drive mappings policies (if you're not applying them through a GPO yet), because through GPO you can control the drive mapping names as well, which is also used as fast access name when pinning there. In order to be able to add a drive mappings to the start menu you will need to make shortcuts for them first. The solution for drive mappings in the start menu is fairly simple. I personally think it's illegal practice as well as abuse of their dominant market position.
I'm not surprised anymore after they pulled out the SBS plug a few years ago.
Again MS is (ab)using their market monopoly by harshly pushing SMB customers over to cloud solutions like InTune or Enterprise VL's which both lead to increased monthly costs and of course more profits for M$, because recurring every year.
Indeed too bad these policies won't work with Windows 10 Pro.
