    Pinning to taskbar


    Not a huge issue more of just something i was curious about, why cant the "computer" desktop icon be pinned to the taskbar? I know that it is possible to pin the windows explorer but i want it to have the computer icon or at least the c drive icon.

    I haven't found the reason why it's not possible to pin the Computer icon to the superbar. Maybe it's because it belongs in the explorer - who knows. You can pin it, though, if you really want to. There are some guides already posted around here somewhere. You basically create a shortcut, then point that shortcut to where the My Computer icon points to, then pin it to the superbar.

    Its not an icon but it should suffice:)

    Thanks man - like that better anyway.

    Already have my Desktop popout menu like that from Taskbar>Properties>Toolbars. Much faster than showing desktop.
