Pinning Apps to Start Menu

I keep trying to pin a date from the save date app to my start menu and it will go there but if I try to drag and drop it elsewhere it just disappears.

The trick is to pin the tiles the way you want them, then export the start screen layout and inject into your image.
It's an awkward system, I know.

  • Cannot pin contact to start menu

    I am trying to pin a contact to my start menu and for some reason, when I long press it, the pin to start option is greyed out and unavailable. Can anyone help?

    Typically if you try to pin something to homescreen and its greyed out its already pinned.
    Try scrolling down on homescreen.

  • Windows server 2012 RDP Session - Default Start Menu Layout Downloaded Apps Not Displayed

    Hi,
    Hopefully someone can help me to resolve a problem that's holding me back a little regarding the start menu for all users that connect to remote desktop sessions on Windows Server 2012.
    I would like all users to have the same default application set upon login. Using a temporary user called 'Start Menu' I created the exact layout that I require all users to have. I installed the tile apps from the store with the 'Start Menu' user.
    I then used the PowerShell command:
    PS C:\> Export-StartLayout -Path "C:\Layouts\Marketing.xml"-As XML
    This then gave me the following XML file:

    Using GPO I then applied this layout to all users. However when I login as any other users I only actually get the OneDrive app and none of the others.
    Can someone please point me in the right direction. The store can not be run as administrator and the 'Start Menu' user had administrator rights when the apps were added from the store.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    You can check the GPO setting “pin Apps to Start when installed” which will pin the new program to start and other setting “Start Screen Layout” which will lets you specify the Start screen layout for users and prevents them from changing
    its configuration. You can find this setting under below mention path.
    <Computer Configuration> | <User Configuration> \Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar
    In addition please check beneath article.
    Customize the Start Screen

  • How to pin a tile for both modern UI IE and standard desktop IE to start menu in Windows 8.1?

    Hi,
    When we deploy new applications to users we use the new GPO for Win 8.1 called "Pin Apps to Start". There we specify the path to the application and it automatically pins to users start menu on log on.
    But we want to have both the modern UI IE and the standard desktop IE on start menu also, the modern UI IE is already on the start menu by default, but when we add the IE shortcut to the GPO setting it doesn't appear on users start menu. tried the following
    path: c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe
    anyone know how to do this in Windows 8.1?
    In Windows 8 it works, but since Microsoft blocked this feature to keep the start menu "clean", we need to use the Pin Apps to Start setting in a GPO.
    Kind regards, Magnus Lislevatn

    Hi,
    I want to know the detail GPO settings for the Internet Explorer, both Windows store and the desktop Internet Explorer, besides, does it work for Windows 7 system?
    The Windows store Internet Explorer is an app, it is not located in C:\Program Files, the desktop Internet Explorer is located at C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer.
    that’s why it doesn't appear on users start menu  when you add the IE shortcut to the GPO setting and tried the following path: c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe
    The suggestion I provided for now is to check whether it just happened to one Windows 8.1 machine, if this happens to any other system, the group policy is responsible for this, posting the group policy setting will help analyze this.

  • Can't pin Acrobat X Pro to Start menu

    My version of Acrobat is 10.1.0, installed in early July. I find that Pin to Start menu is not listed as an option on either the Acrobat X Pro entry or the Acrobat Distiller X entry in the Programs menu.
    With my prior version I had Acrobat pinned to the Start menu. It is an available option for other programs including Adobe Photoshop Elements.
    The Properties of the Acrobat X Pro entry say Target type = Application, Target location is blank, Target is Acrobat X Pro grayed out, Start in is blank, Shortcut key = None, Run = Normal window, Comment = blank, Find Target and Change Icon are grayed out, the Advanced Properties box says "Choose the advanced properties you want for this shortcut" and both options are grayed out but "Run in separate memory space" is checked.
    Added:
    I notice that for Elements in the Programs menu, Norton Security is listed in the right-click options, but not for the Acrobat entries.

    Dave, since you have been kind enough to try to help, can you tell me how to take advantage of the information that I see above my posting in the Adobe forum? I'm not seing it now as I compose this, but to the right of the dark magenta text that says the question status is still not Answered, there were two icons with notes. One said that there is already 1 correct answer (somewhere in the database I assume) and the other said that there are 2 helpful answers. Neither one of the icons or captions was a live link, so I didn't know what to do with them.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Pin folder contents to Start Menu

    Hello,
    I know how to pin a single item to the start menu. I am using the following for a single item:
    Function fPinToStart
    Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
    Set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace(strPinFrom)
    Set objFolderItem = objFolder.ParseName("google.lnk")
    wscript.echo objFolderItem.Name
    For Each verb In objFolderItem.Verbs()
    wscript.echo verb.name
    If verb.Name = "Pin to Start Men&u" Then
    verb.DoIt()
    End If
    Next
    End Function
    What I need to do though is take the contents of a folder and pin the contents to the start menu. The reason for this is we have 5 or 6 websites that need to easily be accessed on locked down systems. In order to make them easy to access we want to pin to
    the start menu. I know I can create 5 or 6 functions but it seems like I should be able to take the contents of a folder and somehow parse that data so that it can run each item separately. I am using the below to read the contents of a folder. Is there a
    way I can feed it into the above function so that each objFile can be looped through the For Each?
    Function fPinToStartFolder
    Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
    Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strPinFrom)
    Set colFiles = objFolder.Files
    For Each objFile in colFiles
    wscript.echo objFile.Name
    Next
    End Function
    The way I look at it is objShell.NameSpace(strPinFrom) and objFolder.ParseName("google.lnk") need to be dynamic so that fPinToStartFolder can feed the data into fPinToStart one file at a time. Ofcourse the names of the functions are messy. They will
    change as I get a solution.

    Thanks Bill. That got me to a solution for unpinning. Just need to make some changes to my pinning script and I am done. Here is the unpin. Modify it the way you need it for pinning
    Function fGetUserPinnedStartMenu
    fGetUserPinnedStartMenu = "C:\Users\" & strUserName & "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\StartMenu"
    End Function
    Function fGetFolderContents(objAppData)
    wscript.echo "Pinned Icons Location: " & objAppData
    Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(objAppData)
    Set colFiles = objFolder.Files
    For Each objFile In colFiles
    wscript.echo objFile.Name
    fUnpinFromStart objFile.Name,objAppData
    Next
    End Function
    Function fUnpinFromStart(objFile,objAppData)
    wscript.echo "Unpinning " & objFile
    Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
    Set objFolderUnpin = objShell.Namespace(objAppData)
    Set objFolderItem = objFolderUnpin.ParseName(objFile)
    For Each verb In objFolderItem.Verbs()
    If verb.Name = "Unpin from Start Men&u" Then
    verb.DoIt()
    End If
    Next
    End Function
    SET objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
    SET objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    SET WshShell = CreateObject("wscript.Shell")
    strUserName = objNetwork.UserName
    objAppData = fGetUserPinnedStartMenu
    fGetFolderContents objAppData

  • Start Menu Customization

    I've had to install Custom Shell to get the start menu to work the way I want. I like to create folders and move my app shortcuts into the folders. It clears up the clutter. Problem is, you have to go hunting for the folders to do this. Also, I prefer
    a windows 7 style start, so give that option to us.

    Hi,
    Windows 10 Technical Preview already make great progress on Windows Start Menu. If you prefer a Windows 7 style start, you can adopt to unpin all app from Start Menu, then you can got the Start Menu like the screen below:
    You also can choose pin Folder to Start Menu if you like.

  • Start Menu items/shotcuts and Start Menu search ability on multiple workstations

    2/13/2014 our IT department began to receive complaints of missing programs. After investigation of a few users we were able to determine that the programs existed but all shortcuts and items from the start menu had been completely removed. In addition the
    searching feature of the start menu was not functional. This happened to about 90% of our environment and the catalyst seemed to be Windows updates or at least occurred after the auto reboot initiated by Windows Updates.  The only items visible in start
    menu were items added after the fact, internet explorer, magnifier, command prompt, and notepad. All other items, folders, and the ability to search installed programs or folders were completely removed. However all programs are present in the program files
    folders. THe start menu folder in program data was empty except for the aforementioned items. Additionally properties of start menu had all necessary checks in boxes such as search program files and folders etc. Also show hidden items and folders is enabled
    for many users so the items were not hidden but gone. And the biggest kicker of all was after a full domain investigation into the issues we found that the majority of our windows server platforms, primarily 2008, were also affected and system restore is unavailable.
    This conflicts with our idea that Windows Updates caused this since our servers get their updates on a manual initiated basis by their admins which we have not performed as of yet for this month. This caused me to begin looking at SCCM SCEP as all systems
    have System Center Endpoint Protection and received definition updates. Also accessing different user profiles or even a new profile did not make a difference, issue still present.
    Due to the enormous inconvenience we sent out a company wide email asking users to perform system restores to get us in a stable state. A system restore to the day before Windows updates (second Wednesday of every month configured by SCCM SCUP) restored
    the start menu items.
    On a multitude of machines IT performed troubleshooting and system restores recording the changes removed and added. We then, on a healthy machine, started to apply the windows updates and SCEP (antivirus) definitions 1 by 1 with out success of replicating
    the issue. Next we performed a system wide antivirus full scan and did not find any viruses. This is obviously not a system criticle issue bringing us down but is a huge concern for us in IT as it happened company wide and caused a large flux of tickets and
    some down time for non-technical users. We most definitely want to know the cause and after several days of investigation and troubleshooting Im turning to the Microsoft community for help.
    I know I categorized this as a Windows 7 issue and its affecting windows server 2008, 2003, and 7, but I did not see a forum for all windows platforms. Since the majority of affected users are Windows 7 I opened it here.
    So to summarize in a bulleted format:
    Issue: Wide spread issue affecting around 60-70 users and servers, all profiles, were all start menu items save one or two system defaults were removed. Additionally the searching feature for the start menu looks to be broken as programs
    exist in program files and are unsearchable from start menu. IT was also affected and I remain affected until I find the cause.
    Investigation and Troubleshooting:
    Start menu properties: nothing has changed and search options are enabled.
    Missing items are not hidden, hiding and unhiding does nothing and folder options show hidden files is checked.
    Program data start menu location is indeed empty as well as user app data start menu location
    No group policy's are in place altering start menu items and no group policy changes were made as of recent
    No SCCM packages pushed company wide in last month or pushed individually
    Windows Updates occurred on windows 7 machines only before the issue occurred and computers restarted and the issue surfaced
    System Center Endpoint Protection Antivirus updates and definitions deployed just before the occurrence with windows updates. SCEP def updates happen on all windows boxes to include servers
    Paint.exe was completely missing from system32 folder for some users machines to include my own
    System restore to that morning before restarts or previous day fixes the issue for windows 7 users
    No windows updates were initiated on any servers
    Servers were also affected with windows 7 machines
    About half the users affected had corrupt Microsoft Office 2013 Pro Plus Click to Run installations and for some the system restore did not fix this and we had to re-install office for around 10 users
    SCEP antivirus did not catch any viruses that could cause this, I performed MBAM scans on a handful of machines and didn't find anything either.
    Re-creating start menu shortcuts works
    Happened to two of our companies locations NH and MA, all part of the same domain but different LANS of course. Companies are interconnected by MPLS connection.
    I combed through SCCM to see if anything deployed and found nothing. Currently I have SCUP updates and SCEP updates disabled. I will post a list of Windows Updates that occurred when the issue occurred as well as the SCEP updates. I have read all the threads
    about this types of issues and tried all steps without success. Googling the issue also did not rear results.

    Hi,
    I would like to suggest you try these steps to figure out what could be causing this problem.
    1. Run Troubleshooter
    Open the Search and Indexing troubleshooter
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Search-and-Indexing-troubleshooter
    2. Create a new library and include fewer folders for test purpose. Now search for a file from that folder. See if it works.
    Create a new library
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-new-library
    3. Try to rebuild search indexing. Refer the steps from the following article.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-advanced-indexing-options
    Also you may use the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) to check the issue. The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.

  • PS CS6 install doesn't create Win7 start menu shortcut

    I just did a PS CS6 install, but just the x64 application. The install created an Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS6 shortcut in the base Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder, but it didn't create a shortcut (or folder+shortcut) for Photoshop. I created my own shortcut, but figured I'd report this.
    Windows 7 x64 system.

    Actually I'm now seeing shortcuts for four new Adobe apps in Start Menu > Programs. The ExtendScript Toolkit CS6 is the only one that shows up in the base Start Menu with red highlighting to indicate a newly installed application. I didn't see the other new shortcuts until I rebooted my system this morning.
    The installed folder for each of the four new shortcuts is:
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
    Shortcut names are:
    Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)
    Adobe Bridge CS6 (64bit)
    Adobe Extension Manager CS6
    Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS6
    Adobe is inconsistent with where shortcuts are created. I have several Adobe application shortcuts in Start Menu\Programs but I have a couple in a Start Menu\Programs\Adobe folder and the entire CS5 suite's shortcuts in Start Menu\Programs\Adobe Master Collection CS5
    The shortcuts I manually created for Bridge CS6 x64 and Photoshop CS6 x64 are on my desktop and have different names than the ones created by the install.

  • 2nd Satellite where Start Menu Disappears

    My fiancee just bought a Toshiba Satellite laptop a couple of weeks ago.  It was meant to replace an  older one that seemed to be deteriorating as well as help us make the jump out of XP (I have my own desktop).  One of the problems that had been happening on her older one was that the start menu would disappear and re-appear, making it necessary that we hunt down all those relevant programs the long way.  One day, it finally disappeared for good.  That system had Windows XP on it.
    This one has Windows 7 and it has the same problem.  Just today, the start menu vanished.  I don't know if the start menu will return or if it is gone for good but I have never seen this problem before except on the two Toshiba laptops I have become familiar with.
    I would like to know this is easily fixed or if I should avoid Toshiba computers altogether.
    Thanks in advance.

    Satellite A505-S6980 
    when clicking on the Windows icon, the items that have normally appeared on the left due to frequent use or from having been pinned to the start menu are gone.  All that remained was "My Toshiba."
    So you're saying the Start menu is essentially empty? Use System Restore to bring it back.
       What is System Restore?

  • RDS 2012 App-V 5 SP2, Applications are not pinned in the Metro Start Menu

    Hey All,
    I've been building a new App-V 5 Environment using server 2012 R2 for the App-V management\Publishing\Reporting servers.
    I've installed app-v 5 SP2 on the RDS 2012 R2 servers and installed the App-V 5.1 SP1 Hotfix (KB2897087) for the 2012 R2 support.
    I have run into the following issue; When triggering a app-v publishing sync the applications are only added in the classic start menu. The applications aren't pinned in the Metro Start menu like our App-V sp1 RDS 2012 clients.
    I have checked the App-V client eventlogs (including the debug logs) and I haven't been able to find any errors that point out the cause of my issue.
    Has anyone experienced the same issue or has anyone got any tips to get the app-v 5 sp2 client on RDS 2012 R2 to pin the sequences to the Metro Start Menu?
    Thanks.

    This is the default behaviour of Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 - there are no programmatic ways to pin shortcuts to the Start screen.
    Here's a way to customise the Start screen layout: http://stealthpuppy.com/customizing-the-windows-8-1-start-screen-dont-follow-microsofts-guidance/
    Here's how to go it with Group Policy: http://www.grouppolicy.biz/2013/06/customising-windows-8-1-start-screen-layout-with-group-policy/
    Note that neither approach will help you pin shortcuts to the Start screen for users that have already logged on, without overwriting their existing preferences.

  • Taskbar & Start Menu Bug: App Shortcuts set to Run as Admin don't open pinned/recent files in RaA

    This is pretty self-explanatory.
    Run in Admin does not kick in when launching a file via a Taskbar's pinned app icon, even when the pinned app has been set to 'Run in Admin' mode (under Properties -> Advanced).
    The same thing happens in the Start Menu -- the app can be set (Properties -> Advanced) to Run in Admin mode, and the file does not launch this way.
    Why is this a problem?  Because if one is supposed to use accounts like MS asks, then running as a standard user after having a file created in an admin account, that user cannot alter the doc in any way -- no saves work.  At least this is true for files not on the C partition.  The only way W7 permits saves is to run an app in Admin mode.
    (I've run into this countless times in the span of a few days with Notepad & PSPad.)
    If the W7 team wants to insist that docs won't automatically run in Admin mode under these conditions (which they should!!!!!!), then at least give users a right-click context menu option to Run as Admin from the recent/pinned items list.  Currently there is no such context menu option.
    Thereby, all recent items / pinned items are rendered a useless feature.....
    Still loving this OS.
    a.k.a.

    Sorry but this is not an answer. The answer to the question is that you cannot run pinned items with the same properties as the pinned program.
    I'll use Visual Studio as an option here but I'm assuming this is true for any program.
    Yes, right click on the pinned program and choose the Advanced settings and you can have it  run as administrator by default. For SharePoint development for example this is great (and required). You have to run Visual Studio as admin on the local box
    in order to deploy your solutions from within Visual Studio.
    Even if you pin the program to the start menu or taskbar after you've set it to run as administrator it works.
    What doesn't work are pinned files. Visual Studio will pin the last 5 or so solutions you've opened. This is handy if you're flipping back and forth between solutions and saves you an extra step when launching the program in that you can select it from the
    context menu that appears attached to the taskbar icon.
    However regardless of the setting of the pinned program, files launch in regular user mode and do not respect the "run as administrator" setting on the pinned program. I consider this a bug as it should respect the setting. And as nesmond mentioned, it makes
    pinning solutions in Visual Studio useless if you need to run the program as administrator. So the best scenario you have is to pin it and set it to run as administrator but then manually open the file after launching. There is no way to have the shortcuts
    that are pinned to run as administrator.

  • Windows 10 Start Menu not updating with the newly installed apps or programs

    in the start menu.  If I search for the app, it comes up & I can launch it, pin it etc.  Next time I log out & log back in the application is there.  I first noticed this when I used Programs & Features to add OneNote into Office

    and worked fine, and the start menu items could be found by searching,
    my product directory was not showing up under All Apps.
    A day later I installed another product, and after that I noticed that
    I could see both this new program's directory and my own. A subsequent
    product installation also showed its program directory straight away.
