Pin to Start

Before the Anniversary Update I had added a registry key to add a Pin to Start option to the right click Context Menu to allow me to send individual files to the Start Menu. It worked great. After the update, the Pin to Start option disappeared from the Context Menu. The registry key is still there, but apparently not working. I even tried reinstalling it, but no change. I know there is a work-around and you can cut and paste a short-cut directly to the Start Menu folder, but that is a hassle. I'd like to get the Context Menu to work again if anyone can give me any help. Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem, and occurred after the same update, in my case I had the option to pin to Start Menu on right click, but that has gone, and if I try to drag and drop...nothing! I have spent all afternoon trying various options given on the internet, but none have worked. I hope that someone has a solution

Thanks for the advise, unfortunately it hasn't worked for me, I installed and rebooted, but it still hasn't appeared.

Thanks, Brink... creating a shortcut works. Like you say, not practical, but better than cut and paste. Cheers
