start menu

I'm trying to write a script that will put a .bat file into the pinned
portion of the start menu. Where are the settigs for that? or a folder that
holds the shortcut?

What is the "pinned" portion of the Start Menu?

.... and above the divider (the group below the divider is Unpinned part). I
couldn't find the relevant folder location either. My guess is it's in the
registry??

Double click on Favorites in the left pane.
