2.1. Pinning Apps to Taskbar

The simplest way to customize your taskbar is by pinning various programs and shortcuts to it through the “Pin this program to taskbar” option, and there are two choices when it comes to getting an application to stick.

The first route is to open the program either from the shortcut on your desktop or through the File Explorer, and once the icon appears on the taskbar itself, right-click it and select the “Pin to Taskbar” option from the menu that follows.

The second method is to find the program you want to pin in the File Explorer. Once located, right-click the icon, and in the sub-menu you’ll find the option for “Pin to Taskbar”.

Select this, and a shortcut to the launcher will be automatically added to your taskbar, and will stay pinned both through system reboots or swapped user logins.

If you wish to unpin a program or file shortcut, you can simply right-click the icon again, and select the option to “Unpin this program from taskbar”.
