Does Windows look at that shortcut only if you invoke Emacs from the Start menu, or does it do that for all the other ways of invoking Emacs, like the cmd prompt, a desktop shortcut, the Run dialog, etc.? > So if we fix AddPM to put the app id into the shortcut it creates in the Start > Menu, Windows 10 should find it and create the correct shortcut when you pin > Emacs to the taskbar. If we find a way to do that from a MinGW-compiled C program, we will. Although I'd recommend that people stop using addpm altogether, and instead use the standard ways of adding Emacs to the Start menu, because addpm does more than just add a shortcut there. Or maybe send patches for making the other stuff optional, controlled by some command-line switches.
