    Windows 11 File Explorer - New Shortcut With Custom Path On Taskbar - Opens New Icon On...


    In windows 11 i created a new shortcut for File Explorer like below : %SYSTEMROOT%\explorer.exe /e,W:\My_FilesAfter creating this shortcut i dragged & dropped it to taskbar. Now when i click on it, It opens a new icon on taskbar instead of it's own icon. This is really annoying. How can i fix it?

    :)

    Creating Shortcuts with Batch File

    Threw a program together quick for you. It is attached with source in the other. Use it in place of your VBScript.

    It supports:
    CreateShortcut [save shortcut] [path to run]
    CreateShortcut [save shortcut] [path to run] [icon index]
    CreateShortcut [save shortcut] [path to run] [icon file]
    CreateShortcut [save shortcut] [path to run] [icon file] [icon index]

    If "icon index" is missing, it assumes 0. If "icon file" is missing it assumes "path to run." It doesn't presently support arguments to be added to the shortcut nor modifying the working directory (always assumes same directory as "path to run").

    Requires .NET Framework 4.0 to run. Will run natively on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows.

    Windows 10 file explorer on taskbar creates a new icon on the taskbar when i open it.

    This can occur if the taskbar's pinned files get corrupted. Luckily the fix is pretty simple:

    • Close all folder windows.
    • Right-click and "unpin" all Explorer icons from the taskbar
    • Open File Explorer once more
    • Right-click the displayed icon on the taskbar and choose the Pin to Taskar option
    That should fix it up.
