    Hello Mialbedwy, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You could use the same method of pinning the Recycle Bin to the taskbar in a folder as a toolbar, but use the application you want instead of the Recycle Bin. This will give it a wider space.

    Recycle Bin - Pin to Taskbar

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
