Re: Problem Pinning a Website to the IE8 icon on the Win7 Taskbar

Hi,
Wild guess because I don't have access to 64-bit Win7...
Is 32-bit IE8 the default browser on both machines?

I posted this message a couple of weeks ago, but the problem persists

I have two brand new Win7 home premium 64 computers, each with IE8
installed and the icon on the taskbar.

I want to pin some frequently accessed web links to the IE8 icon on
the taskbar. The process I use is as follows:

1. Enter the desired website’s address in the IE8 address bar, and
access the site.

2. Left click the address in the IE8 address bar and drag the address
down to atop the Taskbar’s IE8 icon. That’s it.

But when I use this identical procedure on the two computers, I
succeed on one and fail on the other. As far as I can tell all the
settings on the two IE8’s are identical.

In fact even on the IE8 where the pinning fails, IE8 reports “pin to
IE” while the drag is in process.

If I right click each computers taskbar and select "properties" the
two are identical.
Also, the problem computer has a few sites apparently pinned
previously.

Any ideas?
