    Taskbar not working properly and "pin to taskbar" option disappeared

    I was reorganizing my taskbar icon and remove the Windows Explorer task bar. When I tried to pin the new taskbar drag and drop that pin. Then I tried right clicking on the icon to the pin and the "pin the toolbar" dialog box was gone. Now you cannot attach anything to the taskbar using any method at all. Now I don’t know how to solve this issue can anyone suggest on this and so that I can solve mine issue. i am using the windows 7 on mine system.

    Also face similar situation. I do not know why you cannot post my icons on the taskbar. Whenever an icon is opened or is in the taskbar to do a right click is returned with a message that says Close all windows. Also, the icon displays a red circle with a cross on it, every time you drag it from any folder or the desktop. This did not happen before, only in those days. Does anyone face this? Please help me out of this.

    I think you need to follow the following steps and so that you can solve your issue. Top do these go through the following steps: first boot you system on the safemode and after that open the task manager. To open these go to the run and after that type taskmgr. Now on the task manager go to the process and after that make right click on the Explorer.exe and then choose the end process. Now once you finish this go to the file and hit the new and after that type cmd.exe and then hit the ok button. Now on the command prompt type the following and then hit the enter after every command.
    CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
    DEL IconCache.db /a
    Once you finish this again go to the new on task manager and after that type explorer.exe and then hit the enter. Now restart your system in the normal mode and after that go through your issue.
