Windows 10: I SEE TWO ICONS OF OFFICE IN THE TASK BAR, EXCEL AND "EXCEL 1" AND MORE OF THE SUITE

I SEE TWO ICONS OF OFFICE IN THE TASK BAR, EXCEL AND "EXCEL 1" AND MORE OF THE SUITE, WHY?

The excel shortcut cannot be pinned to taskbar

Dear Vanessa, sorry for the long wait.

With the help of your your suggestions I now have a much better understanding of when a shortcut can be "pinned' to the task bar.

When I open a "txt" file in word (or in an other Office pgm) I am unable to pin the "Word icon" (or whatever) on the bar, but if I open a non-Office pgm (I used Ultraedit) I can pin the UE icon to the bar.

When I said I could not make the icon of an EXCEL pgm "stick", I had noticed that a popup claimed that it was already pinned i. e. I already had an EXCEL icon on the task bar which I use to open EXCEL. I then realized that in response to a click on the
EXCEL icon I obtain a window that shows a list of recent EXCEL files. This usually contains the file that I want to open.

Thank you very much, Siegfried

You need to modify all of these:

 

Trying to move desktop icon to the task bar. Cannot make it “stick” to the taskbar

Hi,

To assist you further, let me ask.

• 
  When you say “Trying to move desktop icon to the task bar”, you mean pin the excel workbook to the task bar?
  
• what exactly when you try to stick the excel file to the taskbar?

If you are trying to pin the excel workbook to the taskbar.

Follow the steps below.

• 
  Click on the start menu, select the icon and right-click on the icon.
  
• 
  From the list, select pin it to taskbar or pin it to start.
  

Also, you can drag the icon from the desktop and drop on the task bar.

I hope the information is helpful and if the issue still persists, we’ll be glad to assists you.
