How to pin .cmd to taskbar or start menu in Windows 11​

https://www.elevenforum.com/t/pin-cmd-script-to-start-menu-and-or-taskbar.8095/

You can pin a CMD batch file to Start Menu or Taskbar by the following procedure:

Right-mouse click on CMD script, and select create shortcut. This creates a shortcut in the same folder.

Go to the newly created shortcut and Right-mouse click on the file, and select Properties from the list.

In the Properties window, under Target, add explorer (with one space afterwards) to the target field.

Once you've done that, the shortcut icon changes from a cmd icon to an explorer icon.

Now you can pin this shortcut to either the Start Menu or the Taskbar, as required.
