Windows pins programs to the task bar by looking at the executable that is actually running. runemacs.exe is a small GUI program that launches emacs.exe in a way that doesn't open a command prompt window, and then exits. (That command window would otherwise pop up because emacs.exe is a console program, not a GUI program. It is built as a console program to allow its invocation as in "emacs -nw" and "emacs -batch".) So when you pin Emacs to the task bar, Windows doesn't know anything about runemacs.exe, it only sees that emacs.exe is running. You need to manually edit the Properties of the pinned program to point to runemacs.exe, to fix this. > In fact, it could be easily resolved in the script generating the distribution version for Windows (hope > not to offend anyone). The binary installer for Emacs on Windows and the Emacs Windows binaries themselves are prepared by volunteers, they are not part of the official upstream distribution of Emacs (which only provides sources and scripts to build Emacs). If those volunteers want to include a script that pins Emacs to the Window task bar, they are welcome to do that. But please note that then installing Emacs would require running such a script, and manually pinning a running Emacs to the task bar will still exhibit the behavior described above. > PS: years a ago I was officially part of the French translation team with the help of François Pinard. François was a dear personal friend, and I miss him very much... The Translation Project robot still greets me in his welcome words every time, though ("My nicest hello to all language team leaders."). RIP François.
