EDIT!
Sorry about the dyslectic "Start" not "satrt"
-----
Trying to pin a shortcut on Start menu to open my forum thread in "sevenforums.com"
I have a shortcut (S1) in a folder with the target as "http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/blah.html#postxxxxxxx"
Then on Start (Menu) I created a shortcut (S2) to (S1)
When I click on the start-menu-shortcut (S2) nothing happens.
But when S1 is clicked my thread page is opened.
Am I expecting too much.?
In the mean time I have deleted "S2" and created a fresh shortcut on Start (menu) directly to my thread.
