Perfect answer, good research. Only problem is they dump all the links into one file, so I can't manipulate it via group policy except for putting in a default one for new users.

Thanks Dom. And it's prone to corruption from what I see in various forums. When a pinned item gets stuck, the file needs to be cleared and that resets the entire listing. winhelponline.com/blog/…

You can do this with group policy - here is how I do it:
Create shortcuts to the shares in %USERPROFILE%Links:
GP preferences - shortcuts
Set the shortcut details:
GPPref details
Then again use GP Prefs files to delete the jumplist file %USERPROFILE%AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsRecentAutomaticDestinationsf01b4d95cf55d32a.automaticDestinations-ms:
enter image description here
The jumplist file will recreate a moment later with the contents of the links folder
