  • I don't understand the question. What I see is pinned shortcuts and icons in the taskbar, two very different things, in the Windows world.

  • @Ramhound As you can see in the image the icon of Visual Studio is on the right side, rest all icons are on the left side. How to achieve something like that

Create a new folder anywhere in your computer and paste all those shortcuts you wants to pin on the right side.

Now right click on Taskbar => Toolbars => New toolbar...

Now select the folder where your all shortcuts are.

Now right click the Taskbar and unselect "Lock the taskbar"

Now right click on newly added toolbar and unselect "Show text" and "Show title" repeatedly.

Now again right click on taskbar toolbar => View => Large icons

Now again lock the taskbar and you are done.

Here is what I did:

  • The only problem is, now we have the same answer in two places for two questions. By marking this question as a duplicate, we direct people (and OP) to the location where the answer is given once correctly. It helps keep the site from bloating. I don't know when the question will get closed, but when it does, we'll get it all pointed over to your correct and accepted answer. Feb 1, 2017 at 16:45
  • @music2myear In the other question, it was far less clear that it was achieving pinning on both left and right.

  • This can only be done on the primary screen right?

The ones on the left are the taskbar. The ones on the right are the system tray.

Typically only certain apps can be pinned to the system tray. To access: Click Windows icon. Type Select Which Icons Appear on the Taskbar and click it. Drag the slider to on or off for those that are listed to show/hide them.

You can go a step further and Windows icon > Turn system icons on or off and have more options there.

  • actually I don't want to show it on the system tray. I want it to be as like shown in the picture.

Rico, I was having the same issue. Here are the simple steps to get it to display exactly as you've shown in your image: 1. Right click the windows icon. 2. Left click "Control Panel". 3. Left click "Appearance and Personalization". 4. Left click "Taskbar and Navigation". 5. Where it says "Taskbar Location on Screen", scroll down and select "Bottom".

Baam, easy cheezy!

  • This is not what OP is asking. Please carefully read the question before answering. OP wants some of his pinned icons to show at the right side of the taskbar. Your answer is about the location of the taskbar on the screen which is NOT the same thing. Jan 20, 2017 at 22:07
