StartPanelLinks (Standard 7 Package Reference)
7/8/2014
StartPanelLinks specifies shortcuts to display on the Start menu list of most frequently used programs. You can specify up to five shortcuts.
Each of the settings under StartPanelLinks specifies the complete path and the file name of a shortcut file with an .lnk extension. The path must refer to a location on the destination computer.
Each shortcut file must include the complete path and file name of a corresponding program file with an .exe file name extension. The path to the program file must refer to a location on the destination computer.
Shortcut files must be placed either in the Start menu or on the desktop. Otherwise they will not appear in the list of most frequently used items. We recommend that you add shortcut files to the All Users Start menu, for example: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Fabrikam\Application.lnk, to enable all users to access the programs, and to keep the desktop clean for the end user.
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.
When you add the OEM First Run application, we recommend that you also add it as the first shortcut in the Start menu list of most frequently used programs, so that users can access the application repeatedly until they have accomplished all of the specified tasks. For information, see Link0.
Note
Any item that is pinned to the taskbar will not appear in the Start menu list of frequently used programs.
You cannot add certain programs to the list of most frequently used programs. For a list of these programs, see the Microsoft Help and Support Web site.
