Hi,

 

To pin apps to the taskbar


*Press and hold (or right-click) an app, and then select More > Pin to taskbar.
*If the app is already open on the desktop, press and hold (or right click) the app's taskbar button, and then select Pin to taskbar.

Note
To remove a pinned app from the taskbar, open the app's Jump List, and then select Unpin from taskbar.


To add shortcuts to the desktop


*Press and hold (or right-click) the desktop, then select New > Shortcut.
*Enter the location of the item or select Browse to find the item in File Explorer.

Notes

To delete a shortcut from your desktop, press and hold (or right-click) it, then select Delete.
If you delete a shortcut, only the shortcut is removed, not the original item.
You can't create shortcuts for Windows Store apps.

 

"I work for HP."
Regards,
Ruben
