Some programs/items are easy to be added to the Windows
Taskbar for easy access – provided you see the “Pin To Taskbar” option on
right-click. How about adding the item which does not have the option “Pin To
Taskbar” when you right-click the item. You can add the item on the Taskbar the
“hard way” so that you can access/open the program without having to browse
through the file path.
Next
Type in a suitable name. In my case I have named it EAS_Shortcut.
Finish.
Right-click the brand-new item “EAS Shortcut” just created, and you will see the “Pin to Taskbar” option upon right-clicking it. You can also now see the “Pin to Start Menu” if you want to add it to the Start Menu. You can even drag the item to the task bar or Start Menu.
In this example, I will show you how to add the EssbaseAdministration Console (EAS) desktop client to the Taskbar.
In the following illustration, we do not have “Pin To
Taskbar” when we right-click the EAS icon. So I will go through the process of
adding it to the Taskbar. We can do it with any other file in the same way.
I have this file ADMINICON.BAT on my desktop which is a
shortcut of EAS. As I have mentioned above, there is no “Pin To Taskbar” option
on right-click, nor can I “drag it to the Taskbar and drop it” – well this is
another easy way of adding an item to a task bar.
What I can do now, however, is - copy ADMINICON.BAT (Ctrl-C)
- Create a new folder with a descriptive name anywhere you would not happen to delete. In my example, I have created a folder named “eas_taskbar_shortcut” under the path “C:\Users\nshrestha\Desktop\nirmal”
- Paste the item you have copied (Ctrl-V) to the folder you just created.
- Right-click and COPY
- Right-click anywhere in a blank area within the folder (other than the ADMINICON.BAT file) -> New -> Shortcut
- The “Create Shortcut” pop-up window appears.
- Paste (Ctrl-V) in the space that says “Type the location of the item”
Important: Move the cursor all the way at the beginning of
the path and type in “explorer and a space” so that it looks something like the
one below:
