Start 11 v2.5 Taskbar Pinning Issue
Tuesday, January 21, 2025 by SimplexDesigns | Discussion: Stardock Support General
I seem to be having an issue with taskbar pins with start11v2 2.5. When I pin a folder or menu to the taskbar, it does not retain the name of the folder I have selected. It gives it a random number (7) in this case for pinning the downloads folder onto the taskbar through the start11 pin menu. I opened the taskbar pins folder location to verify and as you can see below, it is labeled (7). It should be Office. This is a 100% fresh windows 10 install so I know there are no other softwares that could be conflicting.

For folks who aren't generally used to editing the Windows registry, the link below explains how to backup and restore the registry. Before editing, adding strings and changing values, a registry backup should be made. A System Restore point should be created. That way is explained in the lower link.

The better way is via System Restore. That way is described here:
