Need 'Pin To Taskbar' Option ...

This has been discussed before... Pin Any File To Taskbar in Windows 10

To pin any file to Taskbar (but Windows doesn't allow it), you have to:
-rename the file (say into file.exe)
-make a shortcut, and pin it to Taskbar
-open shortcut properties, and in "Target" rename the file back to what it was i.e. file.bat
-rename the original file back to file.bat (before you click apply in previous step)

AndreTen - That work-around functions perfectly, thx!!!

There is no need for a workaround. You can pin the shortcut to a batch file directly. You can also drag and drop the shortcut also.

Did you try what I posted in post #10 ? If you modify the target in the batch files' shortcut like I showed then I have found that Pin to Start option appears in the context menu.

You are free to prove me wrong and give me a batch file that you can't pin to the taskbar. I will take as a challenge.

sorry, this post was mark resolved as of post #8. However, to repeat, I am bookmarking this post and will return to it when applicable, so hesitate not to add to it, all tips and tricks welcome - thx all
