Pinning apps on the Taskbar - for all users

Question

_{Monday, November 28, 2016 9:11 AM}

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

Tamar

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 on

Hi Tamar,

I think this official documentation can give you a hint.
