1. What happens when you try ?
2. It is only available only when you are using XP Start Menu.

You cannot pin or unpin items using the Classic Start menu.

Are you using the Classic Start Menu or the XP Start Menu?

Look here...

Read the instructions at the top.
160. Right hand side
Disable or Enable Pin to Start Menu - Right Click
Click on Enable

startmenupin.reg is the file that you want.

It's also a Group Policy.

Help/Explain Text: If you enable this setting, the Pinned Programs list is
removed from the Start menu, and the Internet and Email checkboxes are
removed from the simple Start menu customization CPL. If you disable this
setting or do not configure it, the Pinned Programs list remains on the
simple Start menu.

Registry Settings:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Value Name: NoStartMenuPinnedList
