To suit your needs you might have to tweak the module a little bit. Thomas, this is due to Test-Path exepecting a filepath without any additional data.

I have one problem though. I cant pin an application with a parameter. For example: Set-PinnedApplication -Action PinToTaskbar -FilePath "c:\windows\explorer.exe h:\" This returns: Test-Path : The given path's format is not supported. At C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\PinnedApplications\PinnedApplications.psm1:60 char:26 + if(-not (test-path <<<< $FilePath)) { write-warning "`nPath does not exist.`n $FilePath `nExiting... `n"; return } + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (C:\windows\explorer.exe h:\:String) [Test-Path], NotSupportedException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ItemExistsNotSupportedError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.TestPathCommand WARNING: Path does not exist. c:\windows\explorer.exe h:\ Exiting... Do you know of any solution to this? Thanks. Very nice module.
