Hi, you're watching VisiHow. This is a tutorial on how to pin programs to the taskbar and start menu on Windows 8 computers.

== Steps ==
# Right-click on the icon of the application. In this case, it's our desktop shortcut for Chrome. [[Image:_pin_programs_to_taskbar_and_start_menu_on_Windows_8.mp4-canvas25_455196.jpg|center]]
# Click "Pin to Taskbar". It's about halfway down the menu. Now let's pin it to the start menu. [[Image:_pin_programs_to_taskbar_and_start_menu_on_Windows_8.mp4-canvas29_158611.jpg|center]]
# Right-click on the icon. [[Image:_pin_programs_to_taskbar_and_start_menu_on_Windows_8.mp4-canvas40_08761.jpg|center]]
# Click "Pin to Start". [[Image:_pin_programs_to_taskbar_and_start_menu_on_Windows_8.mp4-canvas42_537201.jpg|center]]
# Mouse over the lower-left corner of the screen and click the thumbnail that appears. This takes us to the start menu, where we can see that a Chrome icon has been added. [[Image:_pin_programs_to_taskbar_and_start_menu_on_Windows_8.mp4-canvas49_969647.jpg|center]]
# Right-click the icon to see options. We can now resize it. [[Image:_pin_programs_to_taskbar_and_start_menu_on_Windows_8.mp4-canvas56_26032.jpg|center]]

# Click, hold and drag the icon to move it. Once we're satisfied with the size and the placement of the icon, we can go back to the desktop. [[Image:_pin_programs_to_taskbar_and_start_menu_on_Windows_8.mp4-canvas64_556926.jpg|center]]
# Click on the Desktop icon or move the mouse to the upper-left corner of the screen and click there. Either method will bring us back to the desktop. [[Image:_pin_programs_to_taskbar_and_start_menu_on_Windows_8.mp4-canvas79_928858.jpg|center]]
