Hi, am new to this forum and also beginner to VBscript.
I have a reqmt - Pin to start menu a shortcut to "cscript test.vbs arg1 arg2" in Win 7.
I could write a script using the cmd shell.run "csrcipt test.vbs arg1 arg2", but am unable to figure out how to pin it as a shrtcut to start menu. Can someone hemp/guide me in writing a VBscript for this.
Thanks!!

You would create a shortcut first and point the .TargetPath to CSCRIPT //nologo C:\Scripts\Test.vbs arg1 arg2

then you would pin the created shortcut with code like:

Thats becoz "Pin to Start Menu" verb will not be enabled on the shortcut created.
