      I know you can fully disable it with GPO that's not what I want. We have an app which needs a laucher to work. It's called in the desktop shortcuts but if they pin it after being opened it will go to the EXE after the launcher directly. Is there a way to block shortcuts calling certian exe's from the taskbar? even if it's powershell or something..

        I've noticed odd behavior like this before - or what I considered odd behavior - the Outlook shortcut for example. If you pin it before Outlook fully launches the screen, but instead do it while in the Outlook profile setup, you get weird results.

        Assuming that the icon on the taskbar is the embodiment of the EXE, I'm not surprised that that is what is pined instead of your PS script. I'm guessing you're going to have to manually create a Pinned object to the launcher, not after it has executed and quits, leaving the actual exe running.
