Here's how I do it: Create a shortcut to your shortcut (Huh? - well it works) append the beginning with "explorer.exe" (no quotes), this shortcut is pinable to the Taskbar or Start Menu. Add an icon and don't forget to change the "Start in:" if needed.

I have an app (home made in PowerBuilder) that runs off a network drive. I want to add the shortcut to the .exe file to the Start Menu in Windows 7. But, I can't. I can't drag it. I can't right click and select "Pin to Start Menu" because that option is not there. The only suggestion I've seen when I Googled it was to create a folder on the desktop with the shortcut in it, then create a new toolbar and point it to that folder. That's rather kludgy. Any way to work around this seemingly bizarre new restriction?
