(un)Pinning Taskbar Items.md

This is barely worth sharing, but you can, for instance, get everything pinned to the taskbar, and unpin it from the start menu

Get-Application -PinnedToTaskbar | UnpinStart

Huge Caveat: I haven't figured this all out.

1. I can't figure out a way to get the order of the taskbar items...
2. Many items don't have the "pin to taskbar" verb when called this way (I don't know why) and you have to do something ridiculous like making a shortcut to them first (thus, the task bar folder) and then pin that.
