Hi,

Had similiar posting recently but as the problem changed I thought it might be best to start something fresh. If the problem was closely the same I'd keep the other topic going. Hope this is good posting behavior.

Global Const $CSIDL_COMMON_PROGRAMS = 0x17
Global Const $CSIDL_PROGRAMS = 0x2
Global $objShell = ObjCreate("Shell.Application")
Global $objAllUsersProgramsFolder = $objShell.NameSpace($CSIDL_COMMON_PROGRAMS)
$strAllUsersProgramsPath = $objAllUsersProgramsFolder.Self.Path
Global $objFolder = $objShell.Namespace($strAllUsersProgramsPath)
Global $objFolderItem = $objFolder.ParseName("IP Address.lnk")
Global $colVerbs = $objFolderItem.Verbs
For $objVerb in $colVerbs
    If stringReplace($objVerb.name, "&", "") = "Pin to Start Menu" Then $objVerb.DoIt
Next

Global $objShell = ObjCreate("Shell.Application")
Global $objAllUsersProgramsFolder = $objShell.NameSpace($CSIDL_COMMON_PROGRAMS)
$strAllUsersProgramsPath = $objAllUsersProgramsFolder.Self.Path
Global $objFolder = $objShell.Namespace($strAllUsersProgramsPath)
Global $objFolderItem = $objFolder.ParseName("TeamViewer 9 Host.lnk")
Global $colVerbs = $objFolderItem.Verbs
For $objVerb in $colVerbs
    If stringReplace($objVerb.name, "&", "") = "Pin to Start Menu" Then $objVerb.DoIt
Next

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "Del " & '"' & @UserProfileDir & '\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\PinTVIPInfotoStartMenu.exe.lnk', "", @SW_HIDE)

The last line which I struggled with for a while is working as it shold. The sections above that are not working. Those handling the pinning to the W7 start menu. Both shortcuts do exist off Start-->Programs so its not like I am trying to pin something that does not exist. Any ideas on how to change this so the pinning happens? What I am wondering is the code processing so fast it is skipping ahead and deleting the shortcut to the compiled AutoIT EXE before they have a chance to do what they need to do? Should I add in a sleep command. I will REM out the Run line and re-compile and see what happens.

Help is much appreciated.

Update: Pinning work correctly as long as the Run line is commented out.
