Pinning Emacs to the taskbar¶
http://superuser.com/questions/259146/why-latest-emacs-version-dont-support-windows-7-taskbar
If you just pin Emacs icon on the taskbar, next time you click it to launch Emacs, it will have a terminal window as well as GUI window. In order to fix this,
- Run
runemacs.exe
with no pre-existing icon on the taskbar. - Right click on the running Emacs icon in the taskbar, and click on “pin this program to taskbar” item.
- Close the Emacs
- Shift right-click on the pinned Emacs icon on the taskbar, click on
Properties, and change the target from
emacs.exe
torunemacs.exe
.
