How do I get a separate button in the toolbar for V7 which I can pin down? [image]

Hei Siemen - I’m a bit confused about the word “Toolbar” and the part that is underlined in the picture. Are you trying to put a start button for Rhino 7 on the desktop? -wim

I’d like to pin V7 to my windows taskbar. But when I open V7, the icon for V6 gets activated (as you can see on the bottom of the image). But then when I close V7 and click on the icon of V6, V6 opens up. I’d like to have a V7 icon which I can click on and opens V7.

To be honest, I think this is only more of a mess: Now you have two Rhino 7 buttons/icons! If you now launch a Rhino 6 instance it will NOT launch another Rhino 6 button, but the instance’s window will appear under the second Rhino 7 button. No consistency at all.

Yeah, it isn’t cool; in a straw poll of some of the apps on my PC most program instances associate with the pinned icon, Rhino and Gimp being the exceptions. Personally, I don’t pin things into the taskbar and I can cope with R6 and R7 instances sharing an icon. But the OP did ask about pinning a …

Thanks for the workaround! Not ideal, but better than having to search for it every time I want to open it.
