The Windows Taskbar is a handy place to have shortcuts because it's always visible when you use Windows. You can also pin favorite websites and even files (though pinning files takes a bit more effort).

What about Skype or Excel? You can pin whichever programs you use most frequently so you can easily start them any time. There are two ways to do the pinning, from the open program or from a desktop shortcut.

When you pin a file to the taskbar, you&#39;re actually pinning it to the program it&#39;s associated with, so it will not appear as an icon on its own. Open File Explorer and navigate to the file you want to pin.
