To Pin a Folder Directly to Taskbar
Note
This option will show you a workaround to pin a folder directly to the taskbar that behaves the same as any other pinned program to the taskbar.
1. In Windows Explorer (Windows 7) or File Explorer (Windows 8), navigate to the folder that you want to pin to the taskbar.
2. Right click or swipe down on the folder, click/tap on Send to and Desktop (create shortcut), and close Explorer.
3. On your desktop, right click or swipe down on the folder shortcut, click/tap on Properties, Shortcut tab, type explorer in front of the Target path of the folder leaving a space inbetween them, and click/tap on Apply. (see example screenshots below)
4. In the same Shortcut tab, click/tap on the Change Icon button. (see screenshots above)
5. In the Change Icon window, type imageres.dll in the "look for" field and press Enter, then select the folder icon and click/tap on OK.
NOTE: You can use any icon that you would like to have displayed on the taskbar for this folder though.
6. Click/tap on OK. (see screenshots below step 3)
7. Right click or swipe down on the folder shortcut on your desktop, and click/tap on Pin to Taskbar. You could also drag and drop the pinned folder icon to where you like within the other pinned icons on the taskbar.
8. When finished, you can delete the folder shortcut on your desktop if you like. It will not affect the pinned folder icon.
