Windows 7 Jump List Problem

My PC at work was recently upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista, and it took me a few days to get used to it (and only after I changed the taskbar so it look more like Vista :p ).

You see, I relied on my Quick Launch on Vista and this was cruely ripped away from me in Windows 7! But after a few days I got used to the new 'pinable' taskbar and I had the folders I used most pinned to Windows Explorer (only 2 of them).

However! A few days ago my pinned items in the Jump Lists disappeared (the pinned programs themselves were fine). So I tried to repin my 2 most accessed folders, but every time I try to pin the second one, it replaces the first one. It's also the same if I try to pin files to Excel - I can only have one pinned at a time.

I tried to go into the settings to reinstate the recent/frequently accessed files/folders and when I pinned one of the folders I wanted I could also pin one of the recent folders (so I could have more than one folder pinned). However when I tried to pin my second folder, it still replaced my first one (and the recent one I pinned was still there).

I'm very confused as to why this isn't working! :(

Anybody else came across this problem?

    OK I've found out that you can't have more than one folder from the same network drive pinned at one time. Which is stupid.

    But I've just created a Toolbar on the Taskbar for the folders I need and that seems to work nicely. :)

    Stress avoided!
