start menu pin list location

With a shortcut in this folder...
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu

The above folder would be the easiest.

Also here...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu2\Programs
Value Name: Order

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\StartPage
Value Name: Favorites
Value Name: FavoritesResolve

All of those are REG_BINARY values and hard to read them.
