I think that the only advantage would be fewer keystrokes. As is often the case, when there are a number of ways of doing the same thing, it's just a matter of personal preference.

With the page open in internet explorer: 1. On the tools menu, choose add site to start menu. A dialog opens giving details of what it's going to, including that the website will be added to all programs section of the start menu. 2. press the add button of this dialog. 3. Open the start menu. Select the website shortcut either by searching for it, or moving to it in the all programs section. Open its context menu, and choose pin to taskbar. Additional notes: 1. After pinning to the taskbar, if you want to you can delete the shortcut from all programs. 2. After pinning to the taskbar, if you search for the website from the start menu you'll get two results for the website: the shortcut in all programs, and the item pinned to the taskbar. David. original message: Hi All, I know it should be possible to pin a web site to my windows 7 taskbar. The instructions I found say to right click the tab of the desired site then arrow down until I reach the option to pin to taskbar. But when I right click I get the menu that says move, minimize, maximize etc. rather than the menu with the option I'm looking for. I think I am not right clicking the correct thing. Could someone explain for me, keystroke by keystroke, how to accomplish this? Thanks, Kimber -- Kimberly |
