#374639 - Yesterday at 23:06 How to put a Shortcut into my Task Bar
tanstaafl. carpal tunnel Registered: 08/07/1999 Posts: 5559 Loc: Ajijic, Mexico	I have a shortcut to "My PC" on my desktop. I would like to move that to the taskbar. I could do that in Windows 10, but apparently Windows 11 only allows direct links to applications. Is there some magical workaround I'm not smart enough to figure out? tanstaafl. _________________________ "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch"

That opens "Home" by default; you can pin "This PC" to the quick launch list. OK. Found this: https://www.windowscentral.com/software-...-11-2022-update You can change the default from "Home" to "This PC" in the options page. So you can pin Explorer itself. (I originally looked in Options, but due to the high DPI on my screen (and my old eyes), I literally didn't see the drop-down) Edited by Roger (Today at 07:34)

Roger, that is effing brilliant. This is why I love hanging out on this bbs, where I'm surrounded by people smarter than me. Thank you! tanstaafl. _________________________ "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch"
