In my previous post I discripted howto create shortcuts in start menu and in the taskbar via Configmgr. In this post I’ll show you an example to create in Windows 10 start menu a shorcut to the softwarecenter of Configmgr.
You can download the package sources from the following link:

The package includes the Pinto10v2.exe and the powershell script to create the shortcut.
Source-Code of the .ps1:
#create shortcut and pinto Start-menu on Windows 10
.\PinTo10v2.exe /pinsm “$env:Homedrive\Windows\CCM\SCClient.exe”
#Rename the Shortcut
Get-ItemProperty “$env:Homedrive\Users\$env:USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\SCClient.lnk” | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.name -replace “SCClient”,”Softwarecenter”} -PassThru
Howto deploy the package.
