In fact the second screen shot you see is another FoxPro EXE application run off a shortcut. I have several other applications that are configured pretty much in the same way – and they run fine and have perfectly fine pinning options. Now some of you will jump on that and say “Aha!” – but that’s not it. This is an old FoxPro based application that uses the Visual FoxPro 9.0sp2 runtimes. The context menu has no pinning options and I can drag the shortcut onto the taskbar either. Since this is a distributed application I also installed it on another machine with exactly the same result. It’s an EXE launched from either a shortcut or directly from Explorer and it just will not pin. I also have this application hooked to a shortcut on the desktop and the desktop shortcut also doesn’t have a Pin to taskbar option like all other icons.Īs far as I know there’s nothing particularly special about this application.
Notice that this looks very different from a typical application which shows the actual application instance(s) running plus the Pin this program to taskbar: The Task menu that pops up has nothing more than a Close this Application on it instead of the usual pin options. Not from a running application, not from a dragged shortcut or by using the context menu to pin it to the taskbar. All other applications pin just fine, but this particular one will not pin or be dragged onto the taskbar. This is an application I’ve created and have full control over in terms of build, but I can’t figure out why it will not pin to the Windows 7 taskbar. Ok, so I have one of my applications ( Html Help Builder) that will not pin to the taskbar in Windows 7.
