Pin to desktop

I've been using "Pin to desktop" in Canary thinking it was similar to "Pin to taskbar" but it creates an app instead. What I want is the Edge "Pin/Unpin to/from taskbar" but I don't see that option anywhere.

    NicolSD Unfortunately, it is not showing up for me in 76.0.158.0. I wonder if it is rolling out in groups again the way translate and spell check did. I had those on some machines, but not others for the same earlier builds.

     

    I assume you are seeing it under More Tools, along with Pin to Desktop.

    Yes, Bev, MANY of us have been saying the same.  Pin to desktop isn't even supposed to be there & how it works is crazy.  We are praying & pleading for Pin to Taskbar, same as you.  We (like to) think the Team has heard us by now 🤞

    Cheers,

    Hi Bev,

    Yes, it's well known or widely known Pin to task bar is missing.  And the Team is aware of countless people saying it's missing.  I think an effort is being made to have it.  🤞🏻🤞🏻  Hope we see it soon... should have been there from the onset.

    And you're right, Pin to desktop is silly.  Edge does not have it & god knows why it's in Edge C (right now)

    Cheers,
    Drew

      Drew1903 Yes, I don't understand why anyone would use it. Not only do they pin to the desktop, but they also pin to the Start menu and even show up in Apps & Features. You have to Uninstall them from Start or open 'Apps > Manage apps' in the Edge menu to get rid of them.

      ???

        "to get rid of them.", Bev

         

        Get rid of what? "Them" being?? Seems I lost or missed that part...

        "Yes, I don't understand why anyone would use it.', Bev
        Don't blame you, it's not a place to put things nor to act on things.

    Bev-Ann thank you so much for this feedback. We have absolutely heard about this as a take-back from our previous version and have "Pin to Taskbar" on our roadmap.

      "We have absolutely heard about this and have "Pin to Taskbar" on our roadmap".

      YAY❗ 😁👍👍🍾

      Speaking of Pinning. We know things can be pinned from the Start menu (Rt Clk > More). Thought I'd show the Rt Clk options, including pinning, from the Applications window. Actually, less involved than via Start.



      Cheers,
