How do I Pin Visual Studio to the taskbar?

to the taskbar. Now drag your solution onto the VS icon in the taskbar. You should see a tooltip saying "Pin to Microsoft Visual Studio 2010". Using this method will let you pin solutions to the taskbar without showing additional VS icons on the taskbar.

How do I Pin a project in Visual Studio?

If you have Visual Studio pinned to your start menu, you can then follow the right arrow near the icon. There are then a list of recent projects shown. You can use the pin icon next to each project/solution to add it to your pinned menu.

If you pin the VSLauncher.exe to the taskbar (drag it in) you will get recent projects and solutions on the right click menu.

You can find this exe in your program files / common files directory. Mine is in

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSENV\VSLauncher.exe

You can also do this by dragging a solution into the task bar (which does the same as the above). If you do this rightclicking it will show recent projects and solutions.

Hope this helps.
