How to pin "Visual Studio 2010 Documentation" shortcut to Windows 7 taskbar?

Solution 1:

You can try Help Viewer Power Tool. It is just standard application (like help viewer was before) so adding it to taskbar is not an issue.

Solution 2:

edit: OK, it works now! (FYI a reference for the MS help protocol API is here.)

  1. Enable the Quick Launch toolbar in Windows 7
  2. Make a shortcut to this help URL: ms-xhelp://?method=f1&query=msdnstart&product=VS&productVersion=100&locale=en-US

  3. Drag the shortcut to the Quick Launch toolbar

Just curious: What's wrong with pressing F1 from inside Visual Studio?
