I have a netbook with Windows 7 Starter. I have a couple python scripts which I would like to get off my desktop and onto the taskbar. I tried dragging the shortcuts onto the taskbar, but I get a message "Pin to Idle" I tried putting the shortcut into a zip file, but that didn't work. I would like to have the script on the taskbar, and just click on it to bring it up - just like I do with Calibre and ADE. I know this is anal, but I hate stuff on my desktop. Any help would be much appreciated.
