    Pinning items to taskbar question.


    I'm using Win7 HP. If I create a new folder on my desktop, I don't see a "pin to taskbar" option when I right click on it. How do I enable that capability? Thanks.

    Hello Jacatone,

    Only programs will have the "Pin to taskbar" option, but you can use the method in the tutorial below to pin the folder as a toolbar on the taskbar though.
    ....or you could create a shortcut of the folder in Quick Launch on the taskbar.
    Hope this helps, :)
