This small powershell Script adds or removes your own Applications from / to Windows 10 Taskbar (Taskbar-Pinning). The functionality is a bit tricky in Windows 10 as Microsoft doesn't like to offer Applications to pin themselves during installation.
Script: TaskbarPinning.ps1
Tested with: Windows 10 v1709 (English & German)
Import-Module .\TaskbarPinning.ps1
# Add Taskbar-Pinning
Add-TaskbarPinning("C:\Windows\Notepad.exe")
# Remove Taskbar-Pinning
Remove-TaskbarPinning("C:\Windows\Notepad.exe")Note: Handling Add-/Remove-TaskbarPinningApp can only be done by Processes named explorer
Workaround to do this with Powershell: Make a copy of PowerShell named explorer.exe in Temp-Directory and use this
copy $env:windir\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe $env:TEMP\explorer.exe
& $env:TEMP\explorer.exe
Import-Module .\TaskbarPinning.ps1List all by Explorer known Apps containing a given Subtring
List-ExplorerApps("Microsoft")Shows a List like this:
