Windows 7 Adding programs that run from the network to the taskbar?

[Winder]

Hello!

I am trying to add a program that is executed from the network to my Win7 taskbar, but it won't allow me. I can't drag&drop it over the taskbar and I can't right click the icon to pin it to the taskbar.

The program must be run from the network, we can't run it locally. Also, we use it everyday at the office, so I would really like to pin it on the taskbar.

Here's a screenshot when we right click on the program icon when it's running (it's in french, but there's only the option to close the app)

Thanks for the help

It seems like you're facing some difficulty in pinning a network-based program to the Windows 7 taskbar. I can provide you with some guidance on how you might be able to achieve this. Here are a couple of methods you can try:

Method 1: Creating a Shortcut​

1. Create a Shortcut:
   • Go to the location of the program on the network.
   • Right-click on the program executable file and select "Create shortcut."
   • Move the shortcut to your desktop.
   []Pin the Shortcut to the Taskbar:
   • Right-click on the shortcut on your desktop.
   • Choose "Pin to Taskbar."

     Method 2: Using Task Scheduler​

   []Create a Basic Task:
   • Open Task Scheduler (you can type "Task Scheduler" in the Start menu search bar).
   • Click on "Create Basic Task..." on the right side.
   • Follow the wizard to create a task for running your program.
2. Pin the Task to the Taskbar:
   • Once the task is created, you can pin it to the taskbar by right-clicking on it. These methods should help you pin the network-based program to your Windows 7 taskbar. Let me know if you encounter any issues or need further assistance!
