Thanks for all the help.

Hello Azxiley,

Have you pressed and held the "SHIFT" key, then right clicked on the app to see if "Pin to Start Menu" appears then? Sometimes this may be required.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I had not but just tried and still no luck.
As an example of one of the apps I use daily and would like to pin is the AD Users and Computers part of the Server Admin Pack. Odd the a MS tool wont let me, but thrid party apps like Dameware did.
