Pin Batch Files to Taskbar

11/14/2020

My computer at work is a Windows. Lately I have been having to use batch files for moving documents around. I wanted a way to pin a batch file to my taskbar, but Windows doesn't have a way to do this. After some research, the answered offered here is one that works for me.

  1. Create a shortcut to your batch file.
  2. Get into shortcut property and change target to something like: cmd.exe /C "path-to-your-batch"
  3. Simply drag your new shortcut to the taskbar. It should now be pinnable.
