  2. Make script for pinning programs to taskbar in windows 10

    Hi Stefan,

    You run the executable. There is a readme.txt file that has all the info. The .cmd file in the zip file Pins Office 2013 programs. They may have provided it as a sample.

    : Release v1.1 - Stuart Pearson 14th Nov 2015

    :

    : Command line tool to pin and unpin exe / lnk files to the Windows 10 taskbar and start menu.

    :

    : The exe needs to be run with two switches specified for each function - Pin / Unpin to Taskbar / Start Menu...

    :

    : To pin an application or shortcut to the taskbar you must include the two following switches...

    : /PTFOL: followed directly by the folder containing the exe you want to pin (always surround in quotes).

    : /PTFILE: followed directly by the name of the executable you want to pin (always surround in quotes).

    :

    : To unpin an application or shortcut to the taskbar you must include the two following switches...

    : /UTFOL: followed directly by the folder containing the exe you want to unpin (always surround in quotes).

    : /UTFILE: followed directly by the name of the executable you want to unpin (always surround in quotes).

    :

    : To pin an application or shortcut to the start menu you must include the two following switches...

    : /PSFOL: followed directly by the folder containing the exe you want to pin (always surround in quotes).

    : /PSFILE: followed directly by the name of the executable you want to pin (always surround in quotes).

    :

    : To unpin an application or shortcut to the start menu you must include the two following switches...

    : /USFOL: followed directly by the folder containing the exe you want to unpin (always surround in quotes).

    : /USFILE: followed directly by the name of the executable you want to unpin (always surround in quotes).

    : Example for pinning a file to the taskbar...

    PinTo10.exe /PTFOL:"C:\Windows" /PTFILE:"notepad.exe"

    : Example for unpinning a file to the taskbar...

    PinTo10.exe /UTFOL:"C:\Windows" /UTFILE:"notepad.exe"

    : Example for pinning a file to the start menu...

    PinTo10.exe /PSFOL:"C:\Windows" /PSFILE:"notepad.exe"

    : Example for unpinning a file from the start menu...

    PinTo10.exe /USFOL:"%USERPROFILE%\Desktop" /USFILE:"Word 2016.lnk"

    How do I stop Windows 10 Start menu from automatically displaying every time I log into Windows?

    What a stupid suggestion. Where did you get the idea that unpinning the tiles would do the trick?

    Start menu problem "pin and unpin to start"

    Excuse me but I'm not clear on what you are doing. Are you right clicking an icon or the blank space. For me the icon brings up a menu that includes "run as an administrator," the other does nothing.

    Eisa,

    Run a system file check to look for corrupt files. It will try to do repair if any found.

    Right click at Start button > click Command Prompt (Admin) > at the flashing prompt, copy/paste this.......
    sfc /scannow

    > press Enter.
    It will take quite sometime.
    When finished, it will give you one of the 3 reports...............(paraphrasing)
    1. No integrity violation.
    2. Found corrupt files and repair successful.
    3. Found corrupt files but unable to repair.

    If the report is #1, your solution lies elsewhere.
    If the report is #2, check if your problems have been resolved.
    If the report is #3, use this method................
    In the same Command Prompt (Admin) windows, copy and paste this command...........

    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    > press Enter.
    Again it will take some time.
    When finished, it will give you a report.

  6. This used to happen to me when I deleted the wrong files from AppData/Local/Microsoft and also from AppData/Roaming. But the problem solved itself after some boots. I see the only way is to backup your files and create a new user in windows. BTW Im using 10.0 Home 10240

    Suggestions :

    1. Do a system restore. Pick a date when you did NOT have this problem as your restore point.
    System Restore Windows 10

    2. Run a Repair Install
    Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

    If you find the tutorial a bit complex, please post back. I can give you a more simplified method.
    But use the forum's tutorial first.
