As more and more of our miscellaneous files end up on our computers, its essential to quickly locate frequently used files and applications.

In Windows Vista, Microsoft introduced the concept of pinning items like documents and applications to the Start Menu.

In Windows 7, Microsoft took the next step and allowed users to pin their favorite applications and documents to the taskbar.

That feature that still exists on Windows 88.1 and Windows 10.

Microsoft also introduced jump lists, which allow you to view recently opened documents and your pinned favorites without having to open the individual applications.

The files are associated with the applications youre working on, so if you regularly use a group of Excel files you can pin them to the Excel shortcut on the taskbar.

To pin a document or application to the taskbar, follow the instructions below.

To pin a document to an application shortcut on the taskbar, click and drag the file to the respective program icon.

A small tip will indicate the item will be pinned to the application you selected.

So, if you want to pin an Excel document, drag it to the Excel icon on your taskbar.

Now right-click the program icon in the taskbar and look for the Pinned section in the jump list.

Alternatively, you can choose to pin items to the Start menu instead of the taskbar.

Its an easy way to easily get at files and in Windows 10 you can easily access all your pinned items across multiple desktops.

Now all thats left to do is sort out those documents sitting on your desktop.

We highly recommend you dont pin a program to your taskbar for every possible document you need to sort out.

Instead, look for the most commonly required programs or the most essential (depending on the types of documents you have).

Then, sort each file to an appropriate folder on your system before pinning your essential files to their respective programs on the taskbar.

It may seem easier to just dump everything on the desktop, but that gets confusing fast.

A better solution is to funnel all your various downloaded files into appropriate folders on your system.

Then, at the end of every week (or every day if you have the bandwidth) dump anything on your desktop into the recycle bin.
