Windows 10: Can not pin new outlook calendar to taskbar

On my windows 10 pro, I'm able to add the shortcut for the outlook mail and calendar separately on the task bar. On my windows 10 home, I'm only able to add the mail shortcut. So even if I open the outlook calendar, then right click to pin to task bar, it'll only pin the mail, not the calendar. Is this a pro vs home issue?

Help with Pinning Excel Files in the taskbar

Hello! PianSa

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community

Certainly! Let’s tackle this step by step. To pin an individual Excel file to the taskbar, we’ll create a custom shortcut and then pin it.

Here’s how you can achieve that:

1. Create a Shortcut:
   
   • Right-click on your desktop.
     
   • Select “New” and then choose “Shortcut.”
     
   • In the location field, paste the actual path to your Excel file (replace the dummy file path).
     
   • Click “Next.”
     
   • Type a name for the shortcut and click “Finish.”
     
2. Customize the Shortcut (Optional):
   
   • By default, the shortcut’s icon will be the File Explorer icon. If you’ve already pinned File Explorer to your taskbar, this can be confusing.
     
   • To change the icon, right-click the shortcut and select “Properties.”
     
   • In the properties window, click “Change icon.”
     
   • Choose an icon or download a custom one in .ico format.
     
3. Pin the Shortcut to the Taskbar:
   
   • Drag and drop the shortcut onto the taskbar.
     
   • Now your Excel file is pinned to the taskbar, and you can open it with a single click.
     

Remember that Windows doesn’t directly allow pinning individual files to the taskbar, but creating a custom shortcut provides a workaround. Enjoy quick access to your favorite Excel file!

I have also tried pinning a specific file into the Taskbar, it seems that this doesn't allow you to pin files directly to the Taskbar but only to shortcuts for applications such as Office programs, Browsers, and utilities: notepad and all. However, you can pin the files inside the file explorer as favorites and this will be pinned under Quick Access.

I would suggest to use the feedback hub app for this feature to be added in Windows: Start menu > Search Feedback hub app > I have a suggestion: Send feedback to Microsoft with the Feedback Hub app - Microsoft Support

I hope this helps!

Thank you,
