Thread: Custom Taskbar Icons

I am also trying to do this since I have a folder I use daily and would like quick access.

Can't be done. If you really want buttons for those things on your taskbar, you can use an old-school toolbar.

You can also override the Windows Explorer icon to point to a single different folder. Right-click the icon, right-click "Windows Explorer" on the jumplist, click Properties and the path for your folder after %windir%\explorer.exe.

You can not easily drag and drop files or folders to the taskbar.

But you can pin files or folders to the taskbar in a more complicate way:

Thanks, works perfect.

I have Vista x64 Flip 3D icon that works in 7 and which I'd like to pin to the taskbar. How ? The above methods don't work.

As far as I know, you can't pin it to the taskbar, just to another toolbar.

Thank you Satchmo.

I have added Flip 3D shortcut to my quick launch. I tricked it by writing a short executable that send ctr-win-tab when you run it, then I did right mouse click and added it to the quick launch :




Again, I did it with the shortcut of the executable that launches flip 3d. You can write it yourself, or if you trust me and if you check it with your antivirus to see it's clean, you can easily use it as I have. Flip 3D.zip.
