    Pinned on Taskbar


    I seemed to have lost the ability to "pin" Outlook & IE8 & some others to the taskbar. I'm sure it had something to do with my "fingerer poking". :)
    Please let me know how I can re-start it. Thank you, Joe

    Hello Joe,

    You might go ahead and do this to see if this may be the issue or related. It will not harm anything since it's only restoring the default lnk (shortcuts) file extenstion associations.

I've got two laptops here. Both running Windows 7. On one when you pin an item to the taskbar and run that program it does not open another icon on the taskbar. On this one it will open a new icon on the taskbar. Why is this the case and how do I fix it please?
A perfectly good shortcut icon will becoma a generic icon when pinned to the taskbar (see pic). Is there any cure for that?
