Pin shortcut file to taskbar. Won't drag and drop. No entry in right-click menu.

Sorry, but nothing drives me crazier than receiving a "canned" answer to a well-explained specific question.

Go back to your shortcut and put the word explorer in before the D: and leave a space between explorer and D so it looks like this, in my example its explorer D:

Once that is completed right click the short cut, properties, more and you should have the pin to taskbar, I have already pinned mine so have the option of unpin from Taskbar.

I have the same build and I just dragged

a shortcut to the Taskbar and it stayed.

Please file your issue in the Feedback Hub.

Also, please do not use Caps and yell at a poster.

DID YOU READ MY QUESTION?

I KNOW how to do it under normal circumstances. With the build I have (24H2 26200.5518) THE NORMAL OPTIONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

Can't drag and drop. No "Pin to taskbar" option in right-click menu.

If you read this, please help.

Hello Dale Webb

The area of the taskbar used for apps in Windows is designed to provide quick access and management of your applications. You can pin your favorite apps to the taskbar or unpin unused apps. Additionally, you can rearrange the icons by selecting and dragging them to your preferred order.

Running apps are displayed on the taskbar with a line under the icon to indicate they are open. The currently active app is highlighted with the Windows accent color, making it easy to identify which app is in use. This setup allows for efficient multitasking and quick navigation between your applications.

Pin an app to the taskbar

There are different ways to pin apps to the taskbar. For example:

• In the Search box on the taskbar, type the name of the app you want to pin to the taskbar. Right-click on the app, then select Pin to taskbar
• If the app is already open, right-click on the icon on the taskbar, then select Pin to taskbar

Unpin an app from the taskbar

To unpin an app, right-click on the pinned icon on the taskbar, then select Unpin from taskbar.

Rearrange the apps on the taskbar

Whenever you want to change the order of app buttons on the taskbar, drag the app's icon from its current position to a different one.

**Tip:**Each app on the taskbar offers a jump list, which allows you to quickly perform certain tasks like opening a recent file or accessing frequently used features. To access the jump list, simply right-click on the app icon. If you want to control the display of jump lists, go to Settings > Personalization > Start and toggle the option for Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar.
