hiya

can someone tell me please how do i add my favourite - regular sites to the taskbar in windows 7?

hmm you can only pin links to the IE jump launch menu.

just drag a link from favorites onto the taskbar and it will then appear in the menu.

If you use anything else you're probably out of luck

thanks for replying

windows 7 is all new to me 1st time using it today i'll have to see how / where pinned items are as i can't see "pinned" on the desktop

FireFox

You can add your favourites folder as a new toolbar rather than pinning it to a jumplist if you prefer -

I would also suggest trying Mozilla Firefox as a browser too, with the Noscript add-on. We really getting up to speed on your knowledge today

sorry to confuse anyone but i've spent hours trying to understand how to pin but just not understanding it im embarrased about keep asking for help

i've also tried to do a screen shot to post here but when i press prt sc + crl then into paint and press cntrl v nothings pasting.

If you look at the taskbar you will see an icon for your browser IE , right click on that icon and select pin to taskbar. Similary if you go in to the start menu and right click on a program from there you have an option to pin to the taskbar.
Then when you restart your lappy these programs will be on the taskbar and you can start them from there. Similarly if you right on the click on the taskbar icon you can unpin it again so it disappears again. Hope thats clear

Screen shots cannot be pasted here directly AFAIK you have to upload the screen shot to an intermediate site (someone will advise on those Busen perhaps if they spot this)
To pin MSE onto the taskbar you need it in your bookmarks first then left click it in there and drag to the taskbar

You need to click and drag your MSE shortcut over to the IE icon on the taskbar. It should then be 'pinned' in the IE jumplist.
