If you are a Windows 7 user then you know very well that Windows 7 does not allow to pin anything directly on its taskbar, because it is a by default nature of this operating system. Even if you already tried to ping Recycle Bin then you must notice that instead of a separate icon it is already pinned under the Windows Explorer program. So if you really do not know the procedure then need not to be worry I am here to teach you how you can do that.

Here is a simple step by step procedure, just follow the steps:
- Do right click anywhere on your Windows 7 desktop.
- Select New option.
- Then select shortcut.
