    library folder in task bar


    Ok....I can not seem to pin the folders library to the task bar. It somehow dissapeared, and when I go to drag/drop it on the taskbar, I get the red circle/slash do not allow symbol.

    Hello wheresjerry

    Follow these simple steps:

    1. Open Start menu and then open Computer.

    2. At the computer window, click Libraries on the left pane.

    3. You will see a libraries icon on your taskbar. Right-click on it and select "pin this program to the taskbar"

    4. Done.

    Hope it helps.

    I have tried that....I can do this for some icons, but not that one. The Library folder is an awesome starting point for accessing important folders I use...

    Are you right-clicking on the taskbar's icon displayed after you open Libraries window? Or the one in the window? I tried in my w7 several times and it works...

    Try this way:

    Open C:\Users\_your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

    You will find all taskbar pinned items / shortcuts in there.

    Right click in there and create a new shortcut, with the path %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe

    Restart or logoff if necessary.

    This should work.

    Hi wheresjerry,

    Limneos's method works, however there is a quicker way. Click the Start Orb and then click Documents. In the taskbar, right-click on the icon and select Pin this program to taskbar.

    I have done that, but those options to pin to taskbar do not show up....

    when I right click on my username at the top of start button options (upper right) I get an option to restore default libraries, selecting that, brings up the library folder.

    What options do you have when you do this? This is what I get, firstly when it is not pinned to the taskbar and secondly when it is.
