    Can't pin everything I want to taskbar.


    For example can't I pin "Mouse" from the Control Panel to the taskbar. If i make a rightclick on it, there's just the option to "close" and not to pin it.

    Any possibility to pin it anyway?

    Hello Blackdot,

    You can use the tutorial below to create or download a Mouse Properties shortcut that opens to the tab you like in it, and be able to pin it to the taskbar.

    Hope this helps,

    Hey, thanks, works perfectly. Interesting how that shortcut-link works, too...
