try $STARTMENU
more about it in the documentation
Originally posted by killahbiteI believe he is talking about the XP only feature that pins applications to the main Start Menu. Using $STARTMENU will not help. I assume this must be stored in the registry somewhere.

XP Pinning
I'think I've found the reg keys that affect pinning/unpinning programs to the XP Start menu.I ran Regshot (http://regshot.yeah.net/) before and after pinning a program and came up with the below differences.I still don't know exactly how it works though or how to implement it into a script. Does anybody have any ideas ?
