Lesson 68: Pinning Apps to the Taskbar or Dock

Make Apps Easy to Find: How to Pin Them to Your Taskbar or Dock

It's Day 68, and today we'll learn how to pin your favorite apps to the taskbar (Windows) or dock (Mac). This makes your most-used programs easier to find and open.


How to Pin Apps:

  1. On Windows: Right-click on an app in the Start Menu or when it's open, then choose Pin to Taskbar. The app will stay on the taskbar for easy access.

  2. On Mac: When an app is open, right-click its icon in the dock and choose Options → Keep in Dock. This keeps it in the dock even after you close the app.


Why It's Important:

Pinning apps to the taskbar or dock lets you open them with just one click. This saves time and keeps your most-used programs within easy reach.


Try It Out:

Pin one or two of your most-used apps to the taskbar (Windows) or dock (Mac). This way, you can open them with a single click.


Pro Tip:

Pinning too many apps can clutter your taskbar or dock. Stick to the ones you use daily for a cleaner and more efficient setup.
