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.
