I want to populate the User Pinned for the Start Menu and Taskbar when a new user (blank profile) logs into our RDS environment. I copied Internet Explorer.lnk, Microsoft Outlook 2010.lnk, and Windows Explorer.lnk to both folders:
C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\StartMenu
C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar
Strange behavior: The user's profile ends up having two Windows Explorer lnk files in their Quick Launch folder (exact same name - does not have (1) tacked to the end).
The net result, though, is the Start Menu does not have any pinned items (although it does have Recently Used Apps and Files listed - another problem I want to solve - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverTS/thread/0cfa7a67-9133-4cc4-a8e7-bab820a28cca/#0cfa7a67-9133-4cc4-a8e7-bab820a28cca) and the Taskbar has a lone Windows Explorer icon (which is probably how the 2nd Windows Explorer lnk is created in the Quick Launch/Taskbar folder - not sure where it is coming from).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
