Title: [SCRIPT] 'Pin To Taskbar' Using SysPin (Third-Party Tool (Freeware)) Win 7/8/10
Post by: total_annihilation00 on February 19, 2026, 10:38:55

Instructions for integrating SysPin into your automation:

claude-opus-4-6-thinking AI Generated::
1. Download SysPin from: https://www.technosys.net/products/utils/pintotaskbar (https://www.technosys.net/products/utils/pintotaskbar) (the ZIP is approximately 11 KB). Extract the `syspin.exe` from the archive.

2. Create a MultiScript entry in 'User Defined Command' with the following template to enable easy access via context menu:

Code: [Select]

@var $filePath = GetSourceFocusPath();
@var $syspin = "C:\\Path\\To\\syspin.exe"; // Replace with your actual full path, using double backslashes
@var $cmdArgs = "/C \"\"" + $syspin + "\" \"" + $filePath + "\" 5386\""; // 5386 pins to taskbar
MC.Run CMD="cmd.exe" ARG="{$cmdArgs}";

3. To keep the console window open for debugging, replace `/C` with `/K`.

Note:
- `$filePath` captures the currently focused file path. 
- Replace `"C:\\Path\\To\\syspin.exe"` with the actual full path to your `syspin.exe`. 
- Use the following codes for different actions:

+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| Action                     | Code   | Description                 |
+----------------------------|--------|------------------------------+
| Pin to taskbar             | 5386   | Pin the file to taskbar     |
