    Hello tjs,

    Welcome to Seven Forums. ]

    Unfortunately, you cannot pin a shortcut to the taskbar. What you can do is pin your web browser whatever it is to the taskbar and then pin the shortcut to the browsers jump list. The other alternative is to create a new toolbar from a folder that contains the shortcut. Info here if needed: Quick Launch - Enable or Disable

    Hope this helps.

Since I last did a clear cache I can no longer get pinned pages to stay pinned in the form I pin them.
