    Can't Pin Any Programs To taskbar


    Today I lost my quick launch Google Chrome in the task bar.
    When I tried to replace it, it would not allow me. I tried to pin
    other programs and could not get any to work. I also opened
    the program(s) and from the task bar right clicked the program
    while in the task bar, but there was no option to pin. I did the
    same by going to the start menu, again no option to pin.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Reboot?


    A couple of days ago my W7 refused to let me pin anything to the Taskbar.
    At the same time, I noticed that something had refused to release 2 GB of RAM.

    After a reboot, everything was normal again (memory usage and Taskbar pinning).

    I had used another app to remove the arrows on the
    icons not to long ago. I tried the fixes above but it did not work.
    I remembered a little app that was mentioned here a long time ago
    "Vista Shortcut Manager". I tried it, put all the arrows back, restarted
    and the problem was solved.
    Thanks for the help:)
    I always learn something new here.
