Windows 7 - Taskbar - Pin or Unpin Program Links

Question

As in title, is there any Win32 API to do that?

Answer 1

I'm trying to implement a VirtuaWin (opensource virtual desktop software) plugin that allows me to pin different buttons to different virtual desktops. Completely valid reason to use this.

Found the way to pin/unpin it already:

Following code snippet is taken from Chromium shortcut.cc file, nearly unchanged, see also the ShellExecute function at the MSDN

bool TaskbarPinShortcutLink(const wchar_t* shortcut) {
  int result = reinterpret_cast(ShellExecute(NULL, L"taskbarpin", shortcut,
      NULL, NULL, 0));
  return result > 32;
}

bool TaskbarUnpinShortcutLink(const wchar_t* shortcut) {
  int result = reinterpret_cast(ShellExecute(NULL, L"taskbarunpin",
      shortcut, NULL, NULL, 0));
  return result > 32;
}

Seems pretty straightforward if you know the shortcut. For me though this is not sufficient, I also need to iterate over existing buttons and unpin and repin them on different desktops.
