    Win11: With a Notepad shortcut on the taskbar, How to pin a text file TO that Notepad...


    This is on Windows 11 Pro.As I did with Windows 10, I'd like to have a shortcut to Notepad on my taskbar.TO that Notepad shortcut, I'd like to pin a text file, as a Jump List, I think.A single left click gets you Notepad. A right click lets you choose the text file.It's easy enough to create a shortcut to Notepad and/or to the Text File, but I'm trying to avoid side-by-side shortcuts. I really want just the one "multi-function" shortcut that Windows 10 automatically created. I assume that this can be done, but I just can't figure it out in Windows 11.

    :)

  2. Pinning a Notepad file to taskbar.

    This is no longer possible, but there is a small different due to a feature called Jumplist. If you keep the Notepad shortcut pinned to the Taskbar, you should be able to access the frequently accessed file from the Notepad jump list. Just right click
    Notepad and you should see the file, you can pin it within the list so its always available.

  3. Pinning a Notepad file to taskbar.

    I was a Vista Ultimate user for a long time. My computer crashed. It has been three years and now I got my computer repaired with Windows 10. I loved my Vista because I am a researcher that is constantly dancing back-n-forth between docs, internet, notepads
    and PDFs. My system was that I was able in Vista to have one particular Notepad file show up automatically in my Taskbar. I access this file constantly throughout the day. I hate apps.
    How do I pin my specific Notepad file to the taskbar? Because everyday, I have to run through a whole bunch of steps to go to items I use everyday. In Vista, I skipped all that because they appeared automatically
    in the taskbar. In the "Start program" Vista automatically opened all the stuff I used throughout the day. My computer was set up for work when I turned it on. How can I get back to the system that worked for me? I hate the Windows 10 app for notepad. I am
    using the Windows 8 notepad that looks like my old Vista Notepad.

    how do you add the notepad desktop app to the taskbar

    Hi Erica, go to where you normally start Notepad from, right click that shortcut and choose 'Pin to Taskbar'

    Or, click your Start Button, type notepad. The in the resulting list, right click Notepad and choose 'Pin to Start'

    That's It!
