Windows 7 allow pinning exe on network share to taskbar

  • 772

I am just configuring my new Windows 7 work machine and have discovered that I can't pin an exe on a network drive to the taskbar. Are there any work arounds to this e.g. Registry Edits.

I can understand the reasoning it's not allowed by default for newbies as the network location may later not exist but I am certain it always will.

    Can you make a shortcut that points to the network location and pin that to the taskbar?

    Maybe these links have some help? (link removed)

  2. There are a list of names that if they are contained within the exe then it cannot be pinned:
