Pin to start menu

With xp it's easy to pin items to the start menu, by simply adding a reference to
"Windows script host object model"
However, this doesn't seem to work on Vista.
Does anyone know if this is possible with Vista?

XP

Pin

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim objShell As Object
    Dim objFolder As Object
    Dim objApp As Object
    Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
    Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace("C:\Windows\System32")
    Set objApp = objFolder.ParseName("notepad.exe")
    If objApp Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox ("Executable not found.  Make sure the path and file name are correct.")
    Else
        objApp.InvokeVerb ("P&in to Start Menu")
    End If
End Sub

---

Unpin

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
    Dim objShell As Object
    Dim objFolder As Object
    Dim objApp As Object
    Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
    Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace("C:\Windows\System32")
    Set objApp = objFolder.ParseName("notepad.exe")
    If objApp Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox ("Executable not found.  Make sure the path and file name are correct.")
    Else
        objApp.InvokeVerb ("Unp&in from Start Menu")
    End If
End Sub

VISTA

This vb script works on Vista:

Code:

---

    Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
    Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace("C:\Windows\System32\")
    Set objApp = objFolder.ParseName("notepad.exe")

    For Each verb in objFolderItem.Verbs()
    If verb.Name = "P&in to Start Menu" Then verb.DoIt
    Next

The nice thing about doing it this way on Vista, is that you can also use the handy verbs
Create &Shortcut, and Add to Quick Launch
