How To Pin a Website to Taskbar on Windows

On the taskbar, you can pin your favorite programs and folders so that you can access them with just a single click. However, did you know that you can also pin websites to the taskbar? For example, if you have a website that you use frequently, pinning it to the taskbar makes it easy to open it directly. In this article, we’ll show how to pin a website to the taskbar on Windows 10 & 11. Let’s get started.

Note: The steps shown below will work in Windows 11, 10, 8, and 7.

Steps to Pin a Website to the Taskbar
