I’ve found a tutorial over on the Microsoft Blog for adding items to the Destinations popup for programs in the taskbar… I only wish I knew how the new Remote Desktop software does it, since it seems to manage it without files…

This is a new project for me. I’ve attempted various blogs before, but never with a serious attitude and a plan to continue them through-out an entire year – nor with a number of pre-planned posts for dry spells.
