In W10 ... I want to place an icon in theTTask Bar that links to a particular text file; and I want that icon\link to be permanent, to stay there, even after I shut down.
Would someone tell me how I do that? How do I paste the shortcut to the text file on to the Task bar? Thanks.
You can't, WDC. The only way I've found is to set up the Quick Launch Bar. You can add whatever you want to that.
The tutorial is here: Quick Launch toolbar - Add or Remove in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
You can, but, you would need to create a shortcut on the Desktop adding the prefix: explorer.exe at the beginning, then a space, then the path to the file, (right click on the file while holding down Shift then 'Copy as Path'), then paste that into the rest of the shortcut path, click next, name it what you wish, click finish. If you want to give the shortcut a notepad icon, right click on it, choose Properties/Change Icon, in the icon source dialog type notepad.exe and choose the icon, click OK/Apply and OK, then drag that to the taskbar.
You can delete the desktop shortcut if you wish.
Note: It will open a new instance of Notepad every time but, it will always be that file
Okey Dokey, then with that radio voice of yours, create a video tutorial so the rest of us that want to can do it. :)
Edwin, you are on the hook now for that tutorial, LOL. In the meantime I can offer this - works also in Win10.
