Windows 7 pinned programs/jump lists gone missing

[zootfloot]

As above really, for example i had some hard drive locations pinned into the windows explorer icon and they have now disappeared.

I have tried to pin/drop the locations back in and they just dont stick, honestly i am sure its something simple but its driving me crackers.

Help please

Cheers OCDude i was just about to post and say i had sorted the problem, this was the method used........

This process erases all the pinned items on all of your programs (you'll have to pin them again afterwards), but the functionality of the windows explorer jumplist will return to normal.

1. Delete all files at %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
2. Delete all files at %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations
3. Reboot
4. Re-pin all the items you wish
