Link1 (TaskbarLinks)
Link1 specifies the path to the second available program shortcut on the taskbar.
Note
Any item that is pinned to the taskbar will not appear in the Start menu list of most frequently used programs.
We recommend that you add shortcut files to the All Users Start menu, for example: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Fabrikam\Application.lnk.
We do not recommend adding the shortcut by using the environment variable: %USERPROFILE%. Shortcuts added by using %USERPROFILE% are applied only to the profile of the next user to log on to the computer. Also, if the setting is applied during the auditUser configuration pass, the shortcut is applied only to the temporary administrator account, which is removed after exiting audit mode.
This setting has no effect on Server Core installations.
