Pin To Taskbar - All (future) users

Hello,

maybe someone can help. I'm totally new to PDQ Deploy, but I love it already.

We deploy IrfanView, VLC, WinAuth aso. for all out client pc. As they are normally burried somewhere in the Windows 10 start menu, it's difficult for most users to find these programs.

Is there a way to deploy the links as icons pinned to the task bar for every (future) user? I mean like the 'public desktop' thing, just with the task bar?

Please let me know any of your tipps!
My best regards,
Holger

I haven't tried this, but it looks promising: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration//configure-windows-10-taskbar

At first I was going to recommend just copying shortcuts into the Default user profile, but according this post, it doesn't work in Windows 10: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/efa09e0c-b5d2-4dd0-a670-b4863083e6f5/pinning-apps-on-the-taskbar-for-all-users?forum=win10itprogeneral
