You get this list by right-clicking on the Start icon in the taskbar or pressing Win+x. Over the years, this list has moved from having an option to open a command prompt to open Windows PowerShell. So I was pleased when it changed to opening Windows Terminal. Especially with an \"as Admin\" option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the latest beta release reverts to Windows PowerShell. I've been told that this was a deliberate decision to avoid having a dead link if the user uninstalled Windows Terminal. Don't even get me started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I reached out to Paul Thurrott on Twitter regarding this issue, and he provided some references on modifying the start list. Here's how I restored my Windows Terminal link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Link Groups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The links are stored under %LOCALAPPDATA%, specifically C:\\Users\\Jeff\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\Windows\\WinX. Under WinX are subfolders Group1, Group2, and Group3. These directories correspond to the start menu groupings, starting from the bottom. The Group3 folder is where I want to create my link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/group3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"776\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/group3.png\" alt=\"Group3 folder\" class=\"wp-image-8983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/group3.png 776w, https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/group3-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/group3-768x356.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see the existing links. The numbering reflects how they are ordered on the list. I opened this folder in Windows Explorer and right-clicked to create a new shortcut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I need the path to the Windows Terminal program, so I grabbed that using PowerShell and pasted it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code lang=\"powershell\" class=\"language-powershell\">(Get-Command wt.exe).source | Set-Clipboard<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-shortcut.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"614\" height=\"442\" src=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-shortcut.png\" alt=\"create the shortcut\" class=\"wp-image-8980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-shortcut.png 614w, https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-shortcut-300x216.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, give the shortcut a name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-shortcut2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"614\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-shortcut2.png\" alt=\"name the shortcut\" class=\"wp-image-8981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-shortcut2.png 614w, https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-shortcut2-300x222.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After finishing, I knew I wanted the shortcut to run as elevated.

It apparently needs some sort of Windows voodoo to \"register\" it. To accomplish this bit of magic, I needed to download a utility called hashlnk.exe. Download the zip file from https:\/\/github.com\/riverar\/hashlnk\/blob\/master\/bin\/hashlnk_0.2.0.0.zip and extract the file. I saved it to C:\\Work. I was hesitant about downloading a random file, but it was created by a Microsoft MVP years ago and is an open-source project on Github. If it makes you feel better, I didn't have any problems, and ESET didn't raise any flags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name of the link file will be used in the list, so I renamed my link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code lang=\"powershell\" class=\"language-powershell\">rename-item '.\\Windows Terminal.lnk' -NewName 'Windows Terminal (Admin).lnk'<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You'll need the full path to the link file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code lang=\"powershell\" class=\"language-powershell\">$linkpath = (get-item 'Windows Terminal (Admin).lnk').fullname<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The registration command is straightforward. Specify the path to the hashlnk.exe, assuming it isn't in your path and the link path as a parameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code lang=\"powershell\" class=\"language-powershell\">C:\\work\\hashlnk.exe $linkpath<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/hashlnk.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"869\" height=\"160\" src=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/hashlnk.png\" alt=\"running hashlnk.exe\" class=\"wp-image-8986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/hashlnk.png 869w, https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/hashlnk-300x55.png 300w, https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/hashlnk-768x141.png 768w, https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/hashlnk-850x157.png 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 869px) 100vw, 869px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That's it.

Once you run hashlnk.exe, I don't think you can do anything else with the .lnk file, so make sure everything is configured the way you want before using it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is a newer or better way to achieve the same result, especially one that lends itself to automation, I'd love to hear about it. I'm very curious about new alternatives to hashlnk.exe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I moved to Windows 11, one of the little things I liked was the addition of Windows Terminal to the start jump list.
