Update : Wrong answer



Rick,


RightClick on the application
- the application itself from the windows explorer
- a shortcut to the application in the windows explorer
- app in the start menu for recently used applications

Choices:
- pin to taskbar
- pin to start menu (it will then appear permanently in the upper half of the start menu)

See image attached
