Does anyone know how to get a list from all the taskbar pinned programs 
and they order from VB.net? maybe using the win7 taskbar API's ?

I had found an article to check if a certain program is pinned or not, 
and i know that pinned items are stored as ".lnk" in the users folder, 
but that does not help me to determine the order?

anyone knows if its possible trough api calls?

Hello -

I assume you checked somewhere like C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming
\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar?

Did you check the registry if there is anything to specify the order?

You can also check out http://www.codeproject.com/KB/shell/taskbarsorter.as=
px
which discusses the API interface to the taskbar.  This does not
include Windows 7 but it might be a good starting point.

Joe, thanks for your reply, i did check that folder, but again that does 
not reference the order, but that second article is of good use, i will 
give it a try and see what i can come across.
