Pin shortcut to start menu and taskbar

[h353655]

I need to pin our program shortcut to both start menu and taskbar. It must work in both Win10 and Win11. The user should NOT be asked, as the install must run from the command prompt. How to do that?

Also, if I check the "Advertised shortcut" box, all I get from that is a blan/default icon for all instances of the shortcut.

Hello,

As per the Shortcuts Properties article:

Yes, I saw that one. Does that mean I can manually set it to IDYES and get what I want, even if MS does not like it?

Hello,

Yes, that should ensure your shortcut is pinned to taskbar.
