How to create a document shortcut on Windows 7 Taskbar?

Asked by DylanMueller (210

Everyday I use the same blank template saved on Microsoft Excel 2010. Instead of keeping this document on the desktop and cluttering it up, I wanted to see if I could move it to the Windows 7 Taskbar, but when I right click on the document it doesn’t give me the option to “Pin to Taskbar” or to “Pin to Start Menu”. So how can I save this shortcut or rather pin it to the taskbar? For what it’s worth I have Windows 7 Professional.

Create shortcut, place on desktop, and drag to taskbar. Now if you right-click on the pinned icon (MS Word), the pinned documents will be at the top of the popup.
