How to Pin a Drive or Folder to the Windows 10 Taskbar<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

You can pin a drive or a folder to the Windows 10 taskbar and it’s really easy.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, let’s pin a drive to the taskbar.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1.) Right-click on the drive you want to Pin to the taskbar and click “Create shortcut”. You’ll get a message that says “Windows cannot create a shortcut here. Do you want the shortcut to be placed on the desktop instead? Yes\/No” Click “Yes”.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.) Go to your desktop and find the shortcut that you just created and right-click on it. In the dialog that opens, click “Properties”. In the “Properties” dialog, in the box next to “Target” type the word “EXPLORER” before the drive letter – make sure you leave a space after “EXPLORER”<\/em>. (EXPLORER doesn’t have to be capitalized – the case does not matter.) Click “Apply\/OK”.\u00a0 See the screenshot below.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

4.) Go back to your desktop and you’ll see that your drive shortcut icon has changed to a folder icon.\u00a0 Right-click on the icon, and while holding down the right mouse button, drag the shortcut to your taskbar and release your right mouse button.\u00a0 You’ll have a taskbar shortcut to your drive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pinning a folder to the taskbar is almost the same as pinning a drive. <\/span><\/p>\n

1.) Right-click on the folder for which you want to create a shortcut and choose “Send to > Desktop (create shortcut).<\/span><\/p>\n

2.) Go to the desktop and find the shortcut you just created.

Click Apply\/OK.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. As you did with the drive shortcut, right-click on the folder shortcut on your desktop, and while holding down the right mouse button drag the shortcut to your taskbar and release the right mouse button.<\/span><\/p>\n
