Windows 10: Need 'Pin To Taskbar' Option ...

... or something's not right. I created a shortcut that points to a batch file. The shortcut works great. HOWEVER : On r-clik I am NOT seeing a 'pin to taskbar' option and I want to pin it to the taskbar. Others shortcuts have it.

No option to pin .exe file in taskbar

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are unable to pin an executable file in the taskbar.

To assist you better, do let us know which executable file you are referring to.

Note that the "pin to Taskbar" option is not available for some .exe files. That is program specific. You will get the option to pin to Start menu for all .exe files but not the "pin to Taskbar" option.

As you mentioned the executable file is in the memory expansion slot, I would suggest you to save that .exe file in your Surface 3 computer and then right click on that .exe file and check if you get the option for pinning it to the taskbar.


Do get back to us with the result. We will be glad to help if you need further assistance.

 

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 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.
