Pinning Steam games to taskbar?

[SilentReaprr]

I cant seem to pin Steam games to my taskbar. I pinned my most used programs and games to my taskbar so I could hide the desktop icons and only have the background wallpaper showing. I can do this for Origin games but why not Steam games? Btw im running Windows 10 Pro 64bit.

I think you need to add the directory shortcuts to get this quick access...but on Windows 10,I don't even know if it is this way.

Ahh yes, this worked. I created a new shortcut and directed it to the launch icon in the game folder and there was the option to pin it to the taskbar. Thanks alot.

you can pin it from the exectuable, but the steam shortcut probably won't work for pinning as it isn't a "standard" shortcut.

edit: ninjas, ninjas everywhere.

At least in Win7 you can pin games to the steam icon.

The Steam shortcuts are technically URLs so they wont let you pin those

Just run the game, tab out, right click the icon on the taskbar and click "pin to taskbar"

When you do what @Danlboon said, the steam overlay isnt available.

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

those are the recently played games. you can unpin the ones you dont want and theyll be bumped off when you play other games.

To pin a game, click on the pin next to it. Or right click it and click "Pin to this list".

[Not Ur Friend]
