Windows 10: drag file to icon in taskbar

Hi Trying to add a file to an email. usually with windows 10 you drag and hover over the Outlook icon in the taskbar then it opens and you drop it in the email. Now when you drag it to the outlook icon nothing happens???!?? Please do not tell me this does not exist in Windows 11 because if it has been done away with then I will return to Windows 10.

Pin Files to Jump List on Taskbar Items by Dragging?

I just got a new Windows 11 laptop. With Windows 10, I was able to drag folders onto icons on taskbar for programs that could open them--for instance, I could drag PDF files onto the icon for Acrobat PDF DC Reader, and make a jump list.

So far with Windows 10, I have only been able to open the file in the program, and then after right-clicking the icon in the taskbar, in the recent files list, pin that folder to a jump list. Can I simply drag the file itself, or will I have to first open it up, and then pin it from the Recent list?

 

Pin Files to Jump List on Taskbar Items by Dragging?

OK. Can I create a jump list item by dragging the file onto the icon in the taskbar, or do I have to pin it from the recent files list?

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:

• 
  Click on the search bar on the taskbar.
  
• 
  Type system icons.
  
• 
  Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.
  

Hope it helps.
