Hi Brink
How would the registry file be modified to be able to pin all files (of all extensions), urls, scripts, folders, and drives to the taskbar? Would modifying the Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\* and Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFileSystemObjects entries cover all of the file types listed above?
