Hello Stanley,
Sorry, but no. This will only backup ony the pinned icon on the taskbar and not it's Jump List. ![]() However, I'm currently working on a tutorial that I'm fixing to post now that will backup and restore Jump Lists and pinned items in Jump Lists. ![]() I'm still doing a few final tests with it to make sure it works properly, but I'll post back with a link to it when finished. |

Hello monk, and welcome to Seven Forums.
They do work, but the steps must be followed exactly for it to do so. What are you seeing instead? |

Thank you for your response
My problem is that every update to iTunes deletes my pinned icons. to make sure I can recreate the icons I did the following 1. downloaded your batch file 2. Ran the batch file 3. made sure a folder was created on Desktop (yes) 4. made sure reg file was created (yes) 5. made sure a copy of my pinned icons were in C:\Users\me\Desktop\Taskbar-Pinned-Items-Backup\TaskBar folder (yes) 5. created a "restore point" in windows (just in case) 6. downloaded iTunes update, installed it, LOST all my "pinned icons" ( only "IE" and "Windows explorer" still there) 7. checked what was in C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar; only "IE" and "Windows explorer" was there 8. I made, again, sure the C:\Users\me\Desktop\Taskbar-Pinned-Items-Backup\TaskBar existed and reg file and shortcuts were there (yes) 9. i executed the batch file with R option; the batch file finished with 16 files copied The operation completed successfully messages My task bar was not restored and the files are not in C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar folder. 10. restarted my PC (still my task bar is empty) any suggestion would be appreciated thank you |

As a test, reset your taskbar icons using the tutorial below in case you may have corruption.
Taskbar Pinned Items - Reset and Clear in Windows 7 Afterwards, pin what you want on the taskbar, and back them up again. Unpin an item from the taskbar, then restore your backup to see if it restores the one you removed. Please post screenshots of the command prompt when you backup and restore to see if anything in it may help. Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums |

Hi, i followed the instructions (clear task bar -> recreate-> backup -> delete -> restore) and this time it worked
Thank you very much for all your help. i was totally frustrated with how "apple" software works (deletes task bar shortcuts) and too quickly decided the restore function did not work. thanks again |
