I have a start layout xml that is applied by a group policy. All the icons appear apart from the pinned folders.

I’ve copied the shortcuts to these folders into the all users start menu programs and they appear in the start menu but they don’t appear on the pinned menu.

The targets are all folders on the C drive of the computer.

My start.xml
