Description Alexander Kouznetsov 2011-06-30 13:21:56 UTC 
- On Windows 7 when I right-click netbeans icon in taskbar there is no "Pin this program to taskbar" item. It is expected for this menu item to exist in this menu as for any other program.
- When I select its icon in Programs menu and click "Pin to taskbar" and run netbeans using it, I get another button on the taskbar. It is expected that icon will grow into button as all other apps do.

This is regression, as everything worked fine with NetBeans 6.9.1.
Comment 2 Ondrej Vrabec 2011-07-01 09:19:40 UTC 
We just tried 7.0.1 dev version (http://smetiste.czech.sun.com/builds/netbeans/7.0.1/daily/latest/) and it worked as expected. Can you reproduce with this version or is it specific only to 7.0?
Anyway, IMHO this is not an installer but a launcher issue.

Please, let me know if it's reproducible in recent 701 builds. Thanks

Seems to be fixed in NB 7.0.1
Comment 5 Alexander Kouznetsov 2012-01-23 09:30:48 UTC 
Reproduced again with NetBeans 7.1 and clean Windows 7 system (recently installed).
