--- Comment #46 from Riban <riban at gmx.net> ---
The documents that users can pin to the JumpLists of the Taskbar or Start Menu
icons are stored in this folder/path:

"%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations"

Inside this folder there is a file for every program that has such pinned
items, either manually pinned by the user and/or automatically pinned by
Windows. (If I am not mistaken, the individual file name is derived from the
installation path of the software and stored as some kind of "hash" value.
Therefore those weird names.)

In my case, the pinned items for LO Writer are stored in the file
"d38a3ea7ec79fbed.automaticDestinations-ms", the pinned items for Calc are
stored in the file "83dd64e7fa560bd5.automaticDestinations-ms".

You can easily backup those files before doing a re-installation or update
installation of LO. After the installation has finished, just copy the filed
back to it's location and your pinned items in the JumpLists are back.
