Permanently Pin Icons to the Taskbar in Windows 7

Windows 7 provides the ability to permanently “pin,” or attach, frequently used program icons to the taskbar, so your most frequently used programs can immediately be started. By default the three icons – Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer and Media Player are pinned to taskbar in Windows 7.

There are different ways you can pin your favorite program to taskbar for faster access. The easy way is  after starting the program, right click on the program icon at taskbar and select ‘Pin this program to taskbar’ as shown in image. Here I have Pinned the Paint Brush program to Taskbar.
