Hi Friedrich,

I shall test this, but what concerns me is that something else needs to happen between me deleting the old link and creating a new one (with exactly the same name). The name of the .lnk file does not change, it's the name of the exe file (referred to in the lnk) that's different. However, the frequently used pinned item refers to the old exe name.

What you seem to be suggesting is to do a Delete File first (on appname.lnk) but as soon as the install is done appname.lnk will be recreated (with the same name). This isn't much different to the installer replacing the .lnk file (which is what happens now), but that didn't make any change to the frequently used pinned item.


Jon.
