    I was trying to pin a URL based shortcut to Startmenu while monitoring. Once the monitoring is completed and in applcations wizard, i can see the shortcut placed in both desktop(which is required initially) and "%CSIDL_APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\StartMenu". When i publish this application over SCCM, the pinned shortcut is not visible. But the desktop shortcut which was originally created is available. How to get this shortcut pinned to shortcut?

    Have a look at this link. I've never pinned something to the task bar for users as I had always thought this was something users should control for the most part. I don't think it's possible to set the shortcut to that location through APP-V. If you want it, you may need to do this programmatically
