Must it? It didn't in the past.
It seems rather silly to keep a shortcut to TCC15 on the desktop solely for the purpose of dragging it to the taskbar every time an update deletes my taskbar-pinned shortcut. I found a couple ways to make restoring it easier.
With a shortcut in g:\tc15\ ...
My SYSUTILS plugin's SHELLEX can do it:
(It took a while to track down the "taskbarpin" verb.)
And a PowerShell script like this will do it.
Considering that, it's odd that my SHELLEX plugin fails (with or without /C (ontext menu)) when I specify the verb "Pin to Tas&kbar". ShellExecuteEx() fails with an error whose text is "Unspecified error" (very informative). Any ideas on that failure (considering that PS seems to do roughly the same thing)?

if ($verb) {$verb.DoIt()}
