The tip was originally introduced in Vista in its Beta days. This was the recommended method then for creating a start menu or desktop item. But it specifically realated to a hidden feature. I have always kept it for transfer to reinstallations.
Create a new folder on your Windows desktop. Name the folder as :
The icon will change ! Now open the folder and see the Tasks
