Creating shorcuts in Windows 7 using the Pin feature.

Creating shorcuts in Windows 7 using the Pin feature.

Windows 7 gives you a new way to add shortcuts to the Start Menu and the Taskbar.

Whenever you see a program in the program list and would like to create a shortcut, simply right-click on the item and in the shortcut menu you will see an option to either pin the program to  the Start Menu or the Taskbar.

If you pick Start Menu, you will later see the program as a shortcut in the top of the start menu. If you pick the taskbar, the program will appear as an icon in the Taskbar. This basically replaces the old Quick Launch toolbar.

Pinned programs will remain pinned until you right-click on the item (in either the Start Menu or the Taskbar) and choose an un-pin command.

So, save your desktop for cool wallpaper images and put all your shortcuts in the Start Menu or Taskbar!

Microtrain presents the course material in an interesting and concise manner. Microtrain gives the student all the resources necessary to pass the certification exams. Both the Chicago and Lombard facilities were excellent, and the staff goes to any length to accommodate any student changes.

Student Employment Success - Project/Process Manager

My Career Services Manager was very friendly and helpful and had excellent follow-up. She seemed to really care how things were going and kept me moving in the right direction. The resources available in job search were great and the visibility that there were jobs out there looking for my skillset was promising. Additionally, the training, as well as having an updated resume stating the Microtrain course work I had taken made me feel more confident and marketable as I looked for employment. It showed that I was dedicated and took project management and process management seriously.

PMP Certification Training, Lombard, 2008

I was laid off for many months and not really getting many callbacks for my resume and no job offers. After I put the letters PMP on it, not only did I see an increase in quantity, but also quality of interviews. I had been spinning my wheels for 5 months, and after the PMP went on, I had 2 job offers in 6 weeks. It really was the "golden ticket"
