Topic: Recorder 6 and Windows 7

We have just upgraded one of our computers to Win7 and successfully reinstalled Rec6 (thanks to Mike Weideli's updated script) - however, I can't work out how to put the Rec6 icon on the Windows Toolbar along the bottom of the screen - I've not had problems with Word, MapInfo, etc, but when I try Recorder - all that happens is the icon gets a red circle with line through it and will not stay on the bar - does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Re: Recorder 6 and Windows 7

Can I assume no-one knows how to put the Recorder icon on the task bar of Windows 7!

Re: Recorder 6 and Windows 7

Are you "pinning" it to the taskbar? This works fine for me (open Recorder, right click on the taskbar entry and go "Pin this program to the taskbar").

Re: Recorder 6 and Windows 7

I'm obviously being really thick, 'cos I cannot find a "Pin this program" option anywhere

Re: Recorder 6 and Windows 7

How are you putting other programs on there?

To pin somthing, open the program and then right click on the programs taskbar button - you should see a "pin to taskbar option" (see attachment). Then when you close it, the icon should remain on the taskbar.

Re: Recorder 6 and Windows 7

Charlie, thanks for the clarification - my copy of Recorder6 does not have the 'pin to taskbar' option - other programs I've pinned by dragging them over the taskbar

It works for me if I have a shortcut to Recorder on the desktop and then drag it onto the taskbar (not sure why you don't have a pin to taskbar option!).
