Update paths of pinned files in Windows 7

Question

I'm trying to find the locations of the pinned files so I can update the shortcuts to a different drive letter, but I can't find where they are saved. Can anyone help? I'm looking specifically for the files I've pinned to an application, not applications that I've pinned to the taskbar. So when I rightclick on the pinned Excel app icon, I've got a list of pinned files. I can get the properties of them, but the property dialog boxes don't let you change the path.

The feature you're referring to is "Jumplists". Unfortunately, the existing jumplists destination can't be edited. However there are third-party tools that allows you create custom Jumplists as you wish. Here are some references:
