Pinning apps on the Taskbar - for all users

Question
-
Hi
I'm making an image of windows 10 and office 2016.
i want that all the users will have the same icons on the taskbar.
i copied all the shortcuts to this folder:
C:\Users\defult\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar
but when i log on with a new profile, i don't get the pinned icons...
why?
Thanks

It doesn't work in Windows 10. See this link for alternate methods.

Hello
Can you try this
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace("C:\")
Set objApp = objFolder.ParseName("Notepad.lnk")
For Each verb in objApp.Verbs()
If verb.Name = "Pin to Tas&kbar" Then verb.DoIt
Next
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace("C:\")
Set objApp = objFolder.ParseName("Media Center.lnk")
For Each verb in objApp.Verbs()
If verb.Name = "Pin to Tas&kbar" Then verb.DoIt
Next
Add as many apps as you want. Just make a shortcut first.
Then you will have to setup an "Active Setup" for each new user that logs onRegards, Regin Ravi
