Hi guys!
My windows7 is very good.
But, now, i can not pin any folder to WindowsExplorer in Taskbar.
The other is ok,but WindowsExplorer only.

Please help me!

Hello Foureye2004, and welcome to Seven Forums.

See if you can drag the folder to the taskbar until you see the Pin to Windows Explorer message under it, then drop it on the taskbar to have it pinned in the Windows Explorer icon on the taskbar.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I knew that.
But the day before is good.
Now, i can't drag any folder to Taskbar to pin it.

You might see if doing a system restore using a restore point dated to the day before when it worked may be able to fix it instead then.

Did you try pinning from an open or closed program? With an open program, right-click the program's button on the taskbar to open the program’s Jump List, and then click Pin this program to taskbar. With a program that is not open, click Start, find the program’s icon, right-click the icon, and then click Pin to taskbar.

If it still doesn't work for you, Shawn's suggestion of a System Restore is worth a try.

I can't restore because i was disable systemrestore (

Hey Bill2. Thanks to show me that topic, but that is not my case.

Try installing Windows Tweaker. It will allow adding "Pin to start menu" and "Pin to taskbar" to your folders.

I try Windows Tweaker, but it is still can't pin any folder.

This may be a more complicated solution than you want but I like it because you get a separate icon for the new folder. http://www.sevenforums.com/customiz...-windows-7-function-like-xp-2.html#post530585 post #12

There are a couple of links in the article mentioned including this one How to Pin Special Windows Items to the Taskbar | Windows 7 Tutorials which I used.

Foureye2004,

If you are still unable to do any of the above, then you might consider doing a repair install that should fix it without losing anything.

 

[foureye2004]

Thanks, but not my case.

 

[foureye2004]

I fix it, but not perfect.
I create new account. And Now the error is disappear.

Well, other than doing a Repair Install above, about all you can do is copy what you want from the old user account into the new account. Afterwards, delete the old account from within the new account.

This is not such a good idea. You are much safer if you keep system restore on - unless you do frequent imaging.

I had the same issue some time ago after using CC cleaner, also could not pin anything in the Favourites list. I did a repair install, takes about 20 min's and problem solved.

So, creating a new user account is pretty much the only way to solve this specific problem (can't pin or view recently opened folders by right clicking on Windows Explorer, which is already pinned to the taskbar)?

Does anyone know if would be possible the transfer the entire contents of one users accounts Desktop folder into the new one? Or do you have to start from scratch...

And what if you go thru all the trouble of making a new account and setting it up how you like it, and the problem just returns!
