1	Type	Defines the type of the pin i.e. where the pin appears.
StartMenu	Pinned item will appear in the start menu
TaskBar	Pinned item will appear on the taskbar
2	Order	Specifies the order of the icons in the specified pinning area. If a script overwrites a previously defined Type with the same Order, than you will get a warning in log. Note most Windows 7 projects use a seperate script to define all the items to be pinned so this is not a problem in practice.
0-9	This defines the initial order of the icons that are shown in the selected area. It can be changed at run time by drag and drop.
Auto	The first available place in the selected area is automaticaly found. This is the default action if the parameter is not specified.

This can either be the installed path of the file or the installed path of a shortcut file ( .lnk file ) in the user profile. Logical names can be used to reference areas in the user profile i.e. %Start_Menu, $Quick_Launch, $Desktop. Examples: #$pSystemRoot#$p\calc.exe $Start_Menu\Programs\Network\PENetwork.lnk $Quick_Launch\PENetwork.lnk $Desktop\My Computer.lnk If blank it defaults to %PE_Programs%\%ProgramFolder%\%ProgramEXE%.
4	Title	This specifies the title to associate with the shortcut created by the pinning process. If not specified then %ProgramTitle% is used.

(Path\) IconFile	File containing icon. Can be an ico, exe, or a dll file. First available icon in file will be associated with the shortcut file
(Path\) IconFile#$cIndex	File containing icon. Can be an ico, exe, or a dll file. Icon with specified index will be associated with the shortcut file
8	StartMode	Optional parameter specifying how the window of the launched program should be shown. Note that the launched program can override this. Can also include an appended string indicating what hotkey is used to launch the program ( add #$c between the start mode and the hotkey ). Hotkeys are specified using the text form of the key seperated by + e.g. CTRL+ALT+A.
1	Program is shown in normal mode. The default if the parameter is not specified.
2	Program is shown minimized.
