How to Pin a Batch File to the Windows 11 Taskbar
I discovered a method for attaching a batch file to the taskbar in Windows 11 and decided to give it a try. Following the instructions provided, the batch file created was relying on the Command Prom...
Right-click on an empty area of the desktop and select "New" > "Shortcut". Then, enter the path to the batch file in the "Create Shortcut" dialog box.
Scottil How does this get the batch file onto the taskbar?
Make the path something like cmd /c "C:\Temp\_Bat\Ping.bat"
After that you can rightclick to PIN the shortcut to taskbar.that doesn't work :( You can make the file, but pinning it to the taskbar is impossible. The option isn't there in the right click menu and dragging also isn't allowed... Windows 11 is getting more and more like iOS: Microsoft decides what you want or need. If you need something else? Tough.
I do not see a "Pin to taskbar" option in the context menu.
This trick worked for me. thanks
