Can a batch file be pinned to the taskbar?  

Right clicking a batch file on my desktop does not give me the option to pin it, is there a way?

Thanks!

You'll need to create a shortcut of the batch file with the prefix explorer.exe

Like explorer.exe\batchfile.bat?

You can just drag it to the taskbar.

That didn't work.

Put the batch file somewhere it won't get moved.
Shift/Right click it, Copy as Path, paste that in a new shortcut dialog but add the prefix explorer.exe and a space

Example: explorer.exe "C:\Z Pack\Context BAT\Load_x64.bat"

drag that to the taskbar, delete the shortcut if you wish.

Thanks Edwin, I'll try that in the morning.

Thanks Brink, but Edwin's suggestion worked like a charm!

Thanks again Edwin!

Code:

cmd.exe /c "Path to batch file"
