Reghack and autoit script

If you go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\notes2.exe and delete the key that's called "NoStartPage" you should be able to pin the Notes program.
However, if you try to start Notes using the pinned icon, you'll get an error message saying something like: "the notes2 executable launcher was unable to locate its companion jar".
So it seems you have to start notes.exe first. But we don't want two icons in the taskbar do we?
I have created an AutoIt script which runs in the background, and as soon as the error message comes up, it calls notes.exe.
This way I can start Notes with the pinned icon, and I don't have to have more than one Notes icon in the taskbar.
I'll gladly share my background program. Is it possible to post it here in some manner?
