[nfbcs] Pinning a Site to the Taskbar with IE 9 Using the Keyboard

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hello Denise,

Like Mike, I have not found this to work.  I just attempted to replicate the
procedure with our NFB.ORG site.  As mike states, the "pin to task bar"
option does not show up in the applications menu.  Could this be a function
included in some Windows 7 versions and not in others?

Thanks for your ideas.

Warmest Regards,

fred

On websites the send to desktop is under the file menu, then after it is on
desktop, hit applications key and proceed with my other directions
