    Hello Shutrcz..

    It should have been easier, and if someone knows an easier way, please let us know.

    Here's How:

    1. Right click on the desktop and create a new shortcut. Enter this at the shortcut path:
    C:\Windows\explorer.exe shell:MyComputerFolder
    2. Right click the shortcut you just created and choose "Pin to Taskbar".
    3. You're done

    Hope it helps

    I must be missing something because the shortcut exists and works from within the shell:user pinned \taskbar explorer pane, but no icon appears on the taskbar itself after log off/on.

    Indeed, it seems placing a shortcut in the user pinned folder isn't enough. However, this way you can now right-click the shortcut and choose :Pin to Taskbar. Then it appears. Thanks, edited the post above as well
