Unable to pin a program/folder to the taskbar

[Mr Lee]

Greetings.
I have problems to pin program or folder to the windows taskbar. I have tried every methods mentioned above, but it just doesn't work for me. The option "pin to taskbar" by right-clicking a program doesn't exist for me, even when I run the program/folder, the only option it shows is "close windows". By dragging program/folder to the taskbar doesn't work either. Please help.

Additional information:
- The option Recent programs(both options) is on.
- The taskbar is unlocked
- Taskbar buttons is on Never combine

Thank you

Hello Mr Lee, welcome to Seven Forums!


Have a look at the tutorial at the link below and follow the instructions to see if it turns up anything.

You don't get this option when you right click any program at all like I did in the snip below?

Hello Mr Lee,

Try what Ted posted above to see if that may be the issue with program exe files or their shortcuts.

Pinning a folder to the taskbar requires a completely different method than programs though. The link below can help show you how to.

Hey
Thanks for the replies, but it still doesn't work even if I run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker.
My windows menu differs from your screenshot, the options I get by right-clicking on a program is; Open, Run as administration, remove from the list and properties.

Thank you
