  1. How do I pin "This Pc" to taskbar?


    I had put "this pc" in my taskbar before installing windows 11. After the installation, it was still there but I decided to remove it. But now I changed my mind and want it back but there is no way to put it back there. Can someone help with that?

    :)

  2. Pinning "Settings" to the Taskbar

    I've tried both suggestions. But thanks to your(?) earlier post, I do have an icon pinned to the taskbar for settings.

    Both were my posts How do I pin "This Pc" to taskbar? :) In fact, at first I forgot to post the usual steps to pin Settings to taskbar, and rather complicated (which I thought) by suggesting you create a shortcut. Hence the 2nd post. Anyway, glad the shortcut method helped.

  3. Pin This PC to TaskBar

    Hi,



    Windows 10



    Does anyone know how to pin This PC to TaskBar.



    A simple operation, however, i will explain as follows:



    I have two pc's and both running Windows 10



    On first pc:
    I somehow managed to get This PC in the start menu as seen here http://s10.postimg.org/r4rz0fxft/607.png and then I proceed to right click the This PC from the start menu to pin to TaskBar and did so without any issues, since there was a 'pin to taskbar' available. Thus now that I have pinned this to the taskbar and on viewing the icon in taskbar it is the same icon as that of what the image in start menu looks like, a blue desktop window computer.



    In any case, when clicking on the blue icon on taskbar, a yellow folder opens which is the 'This PC' and however opens at the far right end of my taskbar icons. Thus i can press the blue icon repeatedly and another folder 'This PC' opens in the same place as the first yellow one opened. Which is all fine and the way i want it, however the following is strange:



    Second pc:
    1) I open This PC and right click on the left side in the list named This PC and i select pin to start.
    2) I then proceed to right click the blue icon This PC from the start menu so as to pin to TaskBar as i did with the first pc, however there is no pin to taskbar.



    I appreciate some help on this, as I am banging my head trying to recreate this on the second PC, I can't remember how I did it the first time, as explained above of the first PC.

    How do I pin "This Pc" to taskbar?

    windows 10 home missing pin to taskbar for installed applications

    I added a third step to the first suggestion, which worked for me:

    1. Choose start> All apps,

    2. Scroll to the application you want to pin, right click and then click
    Pin to taskbar.

    3. When the desired icon tile appears in the desktop box, left click on it and drag it into the task bar.
