Add specific items to the IE8/Explorer pin list

Hi all.

Is there any way I can add a specific web page/URL to the IE pin list in
Windows 7?
It seems like the only way at the moment is to wait for items to
randomly appear in the "Frequent" list then pin them from there.

Annoyingly this mostly works, but some items just don't appear and the
current list largely consists of pages from a webapp I use...

Thanks.

Dragging them there seems to work. ; )

Oh yeah...
I hadn't thought of that

I'm used to explorer <6.1 refusing drops on the buttons so didn't think
to try that.

For reference, you can drag from anywhere that uses an OLE file source
so the IE address bar icon, and files in explorer.

(It also allows me to pin random files to it....)

Thanks
