    Hi Brink, I am back... :)

    I've just recognized, that the "Pin to Startmenu" option is still missing from the context menu. Hmm, is there a registry "hack" to restore this option?

    Thanks.

    Hmm, ok.

    You might see if doing a system restore using a restore point (if available) dated before this problem to see if it may be able to fix this for you.

    Hope this helps,
