• to pin ANY file regardless of its type;
  
• to pin ANY folder;
  
• to pin drive;

Version 2.0 is available
I made some core improvements:
* improved user folders' location detection in case when folder redirection is enabled via Group Policy
* fixed crash of app when it was started from a network share
* fixed the file/folder pinning issue when the target file is located on a network share.

Added "Pin to Start Screen" workaround for Windows 8.1.

Unfortunately, access to that context menu item cannot be done programmatically anymore. I have explained it here.

Why did you change the name?

Why did you change the name?

Personally I think the name is better. While I don't use this product, I can say that it's easier to say "Pin to 8" than it is to say "Start Screen Pinner". :p
