    File explorer window doesn't stay with pinned taskbar icon


    I'm not sure if anyone is having issues with this or if there's another thread about it... When I click the pinned taskbar icon for the File Explorer, it opens a File Explorer window but not on the actual pinned icon. The window will be on the far right of the taskbar, as if I opened a window/app that was not already pinned on the taskbar.In the screenshot below, I pressed the File Explorer icon second from the left. But instead of the window staying on the File Explorer icon, it goes all the way to the right???.I don't know if this matters either, but I have my computer synced to OneDrive

    :)

  2. pin multiple file explorer icons to taskbar

    Hi Horie,



    You will be able to view multiple pinned icons by scrolling down the taskbar on the computer desktop.



    Before we assist further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

      Pin to taskbar
      ?

    Check if similar issue persists on trying to pin the icons by right clicking on the file and selecting
    Pin to taskbar option from the context menu.



    Write to us with the answers to the above questions and the status of not able to pin file explorer icons on the computer in the same post
    for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



    Thank you.

    OneDrive files won't stay pinned to taskbar

    If a pin an excel files that is saved in my OneDrive folder to the pinned excel files list in the taskbar, once I open that file it disappears from the pinned list. This only happens with files saved in the OneDrive folder. Any files saved in my documents
    remain pinned to the taskbar. How can I get the OneDrive files to stay pinned? They stayed pinned before but just started disappearing this last week.
