Windows 7 programs wont pin to taskbar

[drwbry]

This problem came up recently, and i am not sure why. I can no longer add programs to my superbar. there is no "pin" option when i right click a desktop item, and drag and drop to the superbar has no effect. i have played around with some settings, and found nothing that works. any ideas here? thanks!

Have you recently removed the shortcut arrows with a registry tweak?

I have a similar problem with some of my apps. Reference
I'd be happy to know if you find a solution.

yes. i figured it out. i removed the shortcut arrows. got them back on and i am all set now. actually, my icons are no all messed up. they have a giant chunk missing from each one, and a few have disappeared. who knows what happened.
