I spent a good week trying to get a PowerShell script working to do this and gave up. It is very flaky and only works for certain file types (.exe I think). My testing wasn't in a base image to set for default user but a script I could run to 'configure the desktop' and pinning to the start menu or the task bar was a major pain.

I thought this would be super easy, and assumed i could just throw some icons into the pinned folder for the default user but when i got googling, it seems more complicated. Questions - Why can't we set it up for default user and that create it for any new users? Question 2. how are you dealing with this?
