Absolutely, I know that should work. But at this client, for some reason my desktop shortcut (which points to the RBase exe on the server), refuses to pin to the taskbar. As soon as I try I get the "no" symbol. I can move other desktop shortcuts to the taskbar, just not the RBase 9.5 one. Their IT guy said you cannot pin shortcuts that point to a server file. I'd never heard of that and was wondering if it's true.
So that's why someone suggested pinning the exe directly to the taskbar, but that doesn't allow you to change any Properties.

Because I don't in win 8. It behaves like other programs you might pin to the taskbar such as Word or Excel; you have no Properties to those either. Only if I pin a desktop shortcut to the taskbar do I get right-click Properties.

At least in my win 8 here, if you pin an exe from windows explorer to yourtaskbar , and then you right-click on it, there are no Properties for you to change. Not like if you pin a shortcut to the taskbar. That's why I can't pin an exe.

To remove it, right click on the icon on the task bar and select “Unpin from taskbar” and that is all there is to it.

We have a desktop shortcut that points to the RBase 9.5 exe which is running from the server. We cannot drag it to the taskbar. As soon as it gets in there, we get the "no" symbol. Taskbar is not locked. We can move other desktop icons down there. Their IT guy says you cannot move shortcuts that point to programs running on the server. Is that true?
