Windows 10: What folder contains the links that appear in the "Links" toolbar?

That pretty much says it all. I have a folder on my desktop for Web Links, just pages I've saved to read later. I would like to transfer them to the toolbar named "Links" that appears on my Taskbar. I went through the File Explorer and under C:\Users\, found a folder named "Links", so I moved all my web page shortcuts to that, but then they don't appear in the Links toolbar. So there must be another "Links" folder somewhere, right? It's not under the Public account either. Aha. OK, cancel, I found it.

Modification date of link files (lnk) is updated when clicked, and if they are in a toolbar

I'm on Windows 10, and I customized a toolbar in my taskbar, with links to programs (Notepad, Paint, Calc, ...). The steps I followed are:

• Create a folder MyToolbar
• In this folder, add the shortcuts to notepad.exe (notepad.lnk) and mspaint.exe (mspaint.lnk)
• Right click on the taskbar, chose Toolbar, then New Toolbar
• Chose the folder MyToolbar
• A new toolbar is created in the taskbar

Every time I click on one of these icons to launch a program, for example Notepad, the modification date of notepad.lnk in the folder MyToolbar is updated.

This is annoying: because of this behavior, the synchronization program I use updates this file each time I click on it.

Can you reproduce this bug? Any solution?
