How to I add command line arguments (parameters) for pinned applications on Windows 7?

Question

On Windows 7 i'm no longer able to change the command line arguments for "pinned" taskbar launcher.

How can we workaround this problem in order to be able to start applications with parameters on Windows 7 (from taskbar).

Edit the task bar shortcuts directly from:

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

You'll need to create a shortcut to the application that has the necessary arguments and then pin that shortcut to the taskbar.
