--- Comment #42 from beil m <t5hqs3a2k1wh at opayq.com> ---

Looking thru the comments, looks like this has been mentioned before for
earlier versions of windoze.  This comment is for win10.
I place icons for each program (write, calc, draw) on the taskbar.  This allows
me to pin documents used often to the specific program.
When performing an upgrade, old version is removed, new version is installed.
When performing an upgrade, not only are the taskbar icons removed, docs pinned
to the application icons are lost also.  
This causes two problems:  1) have to recreate the application icons on the
taskbar (not a huge problem)  2) Need to re-pin docs to icon which they were
associated.  This is a PITA (mostly because I don't remember all docs that were
pinned).
Suggestion: Until this icon removing problem is resolved, to helps speed up the
restore process, it would be helpful for the upgrade to spit out in a text file
somewhere, listing which files were pinned to which icons.

Problem:  Looks like files pinned to an icon are stored in the registry (of
course they are).  Perhaps this Pinned Taskbar backup/restore procedure could
be applied when upgrading.
