    file explorer not in taskbar


    I think I found the solution to your problem. Here is issue/problem -- you cannot pin the original system File Explorer icon to the taskbar. The latest version of Windows 10 will not allow it. Why? I do not know... But there is an easy trick that you can use. You simply need to first create a shortcut icon for File Explorer on your Desktop, and then you can just drag and drop the shortcut icon onto the Taskbar. Here are the steps...

    1. Start File Explorer by hitting the Windows key on your keyboard plus the E key.
    2. Navigate to the WIndows folder. It is located under: This PC > Windows (C : ) > Windows.
    3. Double click on the Windows folder to open it up, and in the panel on the right hand side, scroll down to explorer.exe 4. Explorer.exe is the File Explorer program. You now need to right click on explorer.exe and click on SEND TO - Desktop
    This will create a shortcut of the File Explorer program onto your Desktop.
    5. Now, close the File Explorer program and go to your Desktop. Right Click on the new File Explorer shortcut icon that you created in Step 4 and drag/drop it into your Taskbar. That is it. You are now done. *Biggrin
