After you install Windows 7, you may notice that it comes with already pre-pinned programs in the Taskbar such as: Windows Media Player, Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer
. Good thing is that this list is not final and you can modify it according to your personal needs and pin whichever program you want.
Here is how it goes:
From the Start menu, navigate to the “All Programs” list and locate the program you want to pin:
Then right-click on the program (in this case I pinned MS Word 2013) and from the context menu choose “Pin to Taskbar”.
Another approach is, when you have the program opened just right-click and choose “Pin this program to taskbar”.
