taskbar pinning

[housetrained]

every time pin a file to the TB it disappears after a while leaving behind
the prog and the recent - but no file.
MS Publisher and MS Excel.
Any one know why?

What do you mean "the prog and the recent - but no file" ?
How are you pinning Excel to the Taskbar ?

Excel pinned by right clicking and then "pin to TB"
That works fine and stays together with recent files. But when I drag, say,
my file called ***** to the TB it stays for a while but after a day or so
that file is no longer pinned. Same thing with MS Publisher.

I can only pin exe files to the Taskbar. What exactly is your ***** file ?
If it isn't an application exe file then whatever program that opens it will
be pinned.
For example, if I drag a text note to the Tasbar then Notepad will be pinned.
If I drag a pdf document to the Taskbar then Adobe Reader will be pinned.

Isn't that how yours works?

Yes, but the actual document remains pinned, but only for a while. For
instance, yesterday pinned a file .xls to Excel and it is still there today.
But it will disappear sometime soon. I'll let you know when.
Thanks for trying to help.

A week gone by tomorrow and this time the files have held and are still
pinned - what have I done different? This is the retail home prem and before
was the ultimate RC!
Thanks for all your input.
