Script to Pin Folder to Classic Shell Start Menu
Hi All,
We are using Classic Shell.
Desired result: A Folder on Classic Shell Start Menu that will display it like a "Menu"
It should be done via script.
When I right click the folder and select "Pin to Start menu (Classic Shell)" It creates the desired result.
When I create Shortcut and paste it in %appdata%\ClassicShell\Pin ned\ It does not produce the desired result. No Menu of folder content.
Same result when I drag/drop>"Created shortcut Here"
Source Folder is %appdata%\Microsoft\Window s\Start Menu\Programs\GGHC
Destination folder for Pin to Start menu (Classic Shell) is %appdata%\Classic Shell\Pinned
OS:
Windows 10
Windows 2012R2
I have tried a 'Pin To Start Menu' that I used on Windows 7 but that appears to only work for files, not Pinning Folders.
