在Windows中，很容易将您的应用程序和程序(apps and programs)固定到任务栏。但是，对于您最常使用的文件夹，在任务栏上固定文件夹和添加快捷方式并不容易。大多数用户永远不会自己弄清楚如何做到这一点。幸运的是，我们为您提供了适用于Windows 10、Windows 7 和Windows 8.1的解决方案。继续阅读以了解它是如何完成的：
第 1 步(Step 1)：在桌面上创建一个快捷方式，指向要固定到任务栏的文件夹
首先，确定要固定到任务栏的文件夹。您需要在桌面上为其创建一个特殊的快捷方式。因此，转到桌面并右键单击(desktop and right-click)或按住(press and hold)（如果您有触摸屏），在空白区域的某个位置。在打开的上下文菜单中，选择New，然后选择Shortcut。
“创建快捷方式”("Create Shortcut")向导打开。单击或点击“浏览”(Browse) 按钮并导航(button and navigate)到要固定到任务栏的文件夹。选择后，按OK。
注意：(NOTE:)如果您在使用“创建快捷方式”向导时需要更多帮助，请阅读本教程：如何在("Create Shortcut")Windows中为应用程序、文件、文件夹和网页创建快捷方式
向导将所选文件夹的整个路径放在位置字段中(location field)。不要(DO NOT)单击或点击下一步(Next)。在此之前，您需要在文件夹路径之前键入单词explorer，后跟一个空格。不要键入“C：explorer”或其他内容，也不要忘记空格，否则该过程将不起作用。查看下面的屏幕截图，确保您使用了相同的方法。然后才按下一步(Next)按钮。
系统会要求您输入此快捷方式的名称。最好将默认名称(default name)更改为个性化名称，以便在使用快捷方式时知道打开的是哪个文件夹。键入名称后，按Finish。
快捷方式现在已在您的桌面上创建，其图标与File Explorer或Windows Explorer相同，具体取决于您使用的Windows版本。(Windows)
要验证它是否有效并将您带到要固定到任务栏的文件夹，请双击快捷方式。
第 2 步(Step 2)：更改您创建的快捷方式的图标
下一个合乎逻辑的步骤是将此快捷方式从桌面固定到任务栏。如果您立即执行此操作，您最终会在任务栏上拥有文件资源管理器(File Explorer)或Windows 资源管理器(Windows Explorer)快捷方式，并且旁边有一个外观相同的快捷方式。您将不知道哪个用于文件资源管理器(File Explorer)，哪个用于您已固定的文件夹。
最好将文件夹快捷方式(folder shortcut)的图标个性化为独特的东西，以便于识别它。请参阅下面我们如何将Digital Citizen(Digital Citizen)文件夹的快捷方式图标替换为我们网站的图标。
如果要更改快捷方式的图标，请按照以下详细指南操作：如何在Windows中更改任何快捷方式的(Any Shortcut)图标(Icon)。
我们还可以在这里为您提供简短版本：右键单击快捷方式（或按住(press and hold)，如果您有触摸屏），然后选择Properties。在快捷方式的属性中，转到快捷方式(Shortcut)选项卡，然后按更改图标(Change Icon)。然后，选择包含您要使用的图标的文件，选择图标并在“更改图标”窗口中(Change Icon)icon and click/tap OK” ，然后在快捷方式的属性中。
现在，图标已更改为您要固定到任务栏的文件夹的快捷方式。

第 3 步(Step 3)：将快捷方式固定到任务栏
现在是时候将您创建的快捷方式固定到Windows 任务栏(Windows taskbar)了。右键单击快捷方式（或按住(press and hold)，如果您有触摸屏），然后选择“固定到任务栏”。("Pin to taskbar.")
快捷方式现在固定在任务栏上，它指向的文件夹也是如此。
我可以固定任意数量的文件夹吗？
使用此方法，您可以根据需要固定任意数量的文件夹。我们建议您更改每个快捷方式的图标，以便您可以区分文件夹。
我可以从桌面上删除快捷方式吗？
将快捷方式固定到文件夹后，在Windows 任务栏(Windows taskbar)上，您可以从桌面上删除您在本教程的步骤 1中创建的快捷方式。(step 1)固定文件夹仍然有效。但是，一旦您删除已固定的文件夹，其任务栏快捷方式(taskbar shortcut)将打开文件资源管理器(File Explorer)（在Windows 10和Windows 8.1中）或Windows 资源管理器(Windows Explorer)（在 Windows 7 中）。
文件资源管理器选项(File Explorer option)的 pin 是如何工作的？
有人评论说我们的指南毫无用处，您可以通过简单的拖放(drag and drop)操作将文件夹固定到任务栏。他们说您必须执行以下操作：打开文件资源管理器(File Explorer)或Windows 资源管理器(Windows Explorer)，然后将要固定的文件夹拖到任务栏上。当你这样做时，你会看到一个选项，上面写着“固定到文件资源管理器”("Pin to File Explorer")或“固定到 Windows 资源管理器”。("Pin to Windows Explorer.")当您看到该文本时，松开鼠标左键(mouse button)。
这种方法有效，但它不会使用自己的单独快捷方式将文件夹固定到任务栏。File Explorer/Windows Explorer快捷方式的右键菜单。右键单击(Right click)它，您会看到列为已固定的文件夹，以及您可能已固定的其他文件夹。
如您所见，最终结果与您在我们的教程中得到的结果大不相同。
您将多少个文件夹固定到任务栏？
现在您知道如何将要使用的任何文件夹固定在Windows 任务栏(Windows taskbar)上。如果事情对您有用以及您固定了多少个文件夹，我们会很好奇。不要犹豫，在下面发表评论并与我们和其他读者讨论。
How to pin any folder to the Windows taskbar, in 3 steps
In Windows, it is easy to ріn your аpps and programs to the taskbar. However, it іs nоt eаsy to pin folders and add shortcuts on the taskbar, for the folders you use most often. Most users will never figure out on their own how to do this. Luckily, we have a solution for you, that works in Windows 10, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Read оn tо see how it is done:
Step 1: Create a shortcut on the desktop, to the folder that you want to pin to the taskbar
First, decide on the folder that you want to pin to the taskbar. You need to create a special shortcut to it, on your desktop. Therefore, go to the desktop and right-click or press and hold (if you have a touchscreen), somewhere on the empty space. In the contextual menu that opens, choose New and then Shortcut.
The "Create Shortcut" wizard opens. Click or tap the Browse button and navigate to the folder that you want to pin to the taskbar. After you select it, press OK.
NOTE: If you need more help in working with the "Create Shortcut" wizard, read this tutorial: How to create shortcuts for apps, files, folders and web pages in Windows
The wizard places the whole path to the selected folder in the location field. DO NOT click or tap Next. Before you do that, you need to type the word explorer, followed by a space, just before the folder's path. Do no type "C:explorer" or something else and do not forget the space, otherwise the procedure does not work. Look at the screenshot below and make sure that you have used the same approach. Only then press the Next button.
You are asked to enter the name for this shortcut. It is best that you change the default name to a personalized one, so that you know what folder is opened when you use the shortcut. After you type the name, press Finish.
The shortcut is now created on your desktop and its icon is the same as for File Explorer or Windows Explorer, depending on the version of Windows that you are using.
To verify that it works and it takes you to the folder that you want to pin to the taskbar, double-click on the shortcut.
Step 2: Change the icon of the shortcut that you have created
The next logical step is to pin this shortcut from the desktop to the taskbar. If you do this right away, you end-up having the File Explorer or Windows Explorer shortcut on the taskbar and an identical looking shortcut next to it. You will not know which is for File Explorer and which is for the folder that you have pinned.
It is best that you personalize the icon for the folder shortcut to something unique, that makes it easy to identify it. See below how we replaced our shortcut's icon for our Digital Citizen folder, with our website's icon.
If you want to change the icon of the shortcut, follow this detailed guide: How To Change the Icon of Any Shortcut in Windows.
We can also give you the short version here: right-click on the shortcut (or press and hold, if you have a touchscreen), and choose Properties. In the shortcut's properties, go to the Shortcut tab and press Change Icon. Then, select the file containing the icon that you want to use, choose the icon and click/tap OK in the Change Icon window and then in the shortcut's properties.
The icon is now changed for your shortcut to the folder that you want to pin to the taskbar.

Step 3: Pin the shortcut to the taskbar
Now it is time to pin the shortcut that you have created, to the Windows taskbar. Right-click on the shortcut (or press and hold, if you have a touchscreen), and choose "Pin to taskbar."
The shortcut is now pinned to the taskbar and so is the folder it points to.
Can I pin as many folders as I want?
With this method, you can pin as many folders as you want. We recommend that you change the icon for each shortcut, so that you can tell your folders apart.
Can I remove the shortcut from the desktop?
After you pin the shortcut to a folder, on the Windows taskbar, you can delete the shortcut from the desktop, that you created at step 1 from this tutorial. The pinned folder will still work. However, as soon as you delete the folder that you have pinned, its taskbar shortcut will open File Explorer (in Windows 10 and Windows 8.1) or Windows Explorer (in Windows 7).
How does the pin to File Explorer option work?
Some people have commented that our guide is useless and that you can pin folders to the taskbar with a simple drag and drop. They say that you have to do the following: open File Explorer or Windows Explorer, and drag the folder that you want pinned to the taskbar. When you do that, you see an option that says "Pin to File Explorer" or "Pin to Windows Explorer." When you see that text, release the left-click mouse button.
This approach works but it doesn't pin a folder to the taskbar, using its own separate shortcut. It pins the folder to the right-click menu for the File Explorer/Windows Explorer shortcut on the taskbar. Right click on it, and you see the folder listed as pinned, alongside other folders that you may have pinned.
As you can see, the end-result is very different from what you get with our tutorial.
How many folders did you pin to your taskbar?
Now you know how to pin any folder that you want to use, on the Windows taskbar. We are curios if things worked well for you and how many folders you have pinned. Don't hesitate to comment below and discuss with us and other readers.
