Title: "Pin To Taskbar" Option Is Missing In MC
Post by: total_annihilation00 on June 02, 2025, 09:11:30

I'am noticing that the "Pin to Taskbar" context menu option (accessible via right-click) for EXE or LNK files is missing in Multi Commander. However, I can add this option manually through Windows Explorer. Is there a chance you could perhaps implement the "Pin to Taskbar" functionality within Multi Commander? I'am running Windows 10 FYI. :-\

Hmm problem is that MC does not have much of control over what is added there

MC creates a Popup Menu. Then tells the Windows to fill it with items. according to the list of file items that are also sent to it.

Since there is a reg hack to add this to Windows Explorer. It might be that explorer is also adding this manual to the list. and not via the shell context menu system.
MC might be able to too that. But then it will be under the MultiCommander menu. But currently I have no idea how to do that 'manually'

Oh I see, it would be nice if it could be added to MC, even if it's under the MC Menu… I'd appreciate it, but only if it's not way too much trouble for you…
