How to Pin Internet Explorer Shortcuts to the Windows Taskbar (with Windows 8.1)
Method 1 of 2:
Dragging Icon Directly to Taskbar
- Use the Internet Explorer program on your Windows desktop. Don't use the app that comes with your computer that is native to Windows 8.1.
- Browse to the site you'd like to pin to the taskbar.
- Look for the icon to the left of the address in the URL box/address bar.
- Click and drag this icon into your taskbar.
Method 2 of 2:
Slightly More Complicated Through the Former Featured Method
- Use the Internet Explorer program on your Windows desktop. Don't use the app that comes with your computer that is native to Windows 8.1.
- Browse to the site you'd like to pin to the taskbar.
- Click the Gears button in the top right corner of the screen just below the x button that will close the screen and click "Add site to Apps".
- Look down at your Windows Taskbar, a few seconds later. The page should have unhooked itself from the main Internet explorer E icon from your Windows taskbar and opened itself up as a temporary pin on your taskbar.
- Right click the item in the list and select "Pin to Taskbar".
