Launch App multiple times from a Pinned Shortcut

I have a CMD prompt shortcut pinned to the taskbar but I can only launch it once? So I have to have yet another icon on the desktop to launch multiple windows? (The same thing applies to many app that I need to launch multiple copies of MsTSC / SSH etc.)

Solution 1:

Hold Shift while you click the pinned program.

This will open a new window of the app as opposed to activating the currently open window.

Solution 2:

You can launch new instances of pinned programs at the first 9 (or 10?) positions by pressing Windows-Shift-N, with N being the position from the left.

Solution 3:

You can middle click any item on the taskbar to launch another instance.
