Windows 10 - shortcut in taskbar

Post by jak64 »

Hello all,
When you implement a program in Windows, there is an installation procedure, then, by right-clicking, you can pin it to the taskbar.
With my PureBasic programs, there is no installation procedure (or I don't know it).
The consequence is that, when I right-click on my program (.exe), I don't have the option to pin it to the taskbar.
My Windows version is Home version 22H2

Do you know how to do it ?

THANKS

That's strange...

Most of my programs are just the executable (no install program), and when I right-click the executable program, "Pin to taskbar" appears in the context menu.

Windows 11 context menus can hide some of the menu options and you have to click "Show more options" to see all of them. Is that the case for you and does clicking it show "Pin to taskbar"?

That's it, I found for Windows 10:
1) Launch the program, then the icon appears in the taskbar...
2) Right click on this icon which is in the taskbar and click on “Pin to taskbar”
