I am using Windows 7

I have pinned Google Chrome to my start menu and I can see a right arrow near the icon. When hovering on it I can see tasks as new window and new incognito window.

Likewise I need to add most commonly worked projects in Visual Studio 2013 to the Visual Studio launcher in Start menu.

How can I do this?

Thanks

  • I can see this on my screen. I can go to the recent list and pin these projects using the pin icon next to the project. They are then shown in the pinned projects area at the top. – John Jan 06 '15 at 09:55

  • If you have Visual Studio pinned to your start menu, you can then follow the right arrow near the icon. There are then a list of recent projects shown. You can use the pin icon next to each project/solution to add it to your pinned menu. I am using VSCommands in Visual Studio, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference. – John Jan 06 '15 at 09:59

  • This is a similar technique using the Taskbar: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/pinning-projects-and-solutions-with-visual-studio-2010 – John Jan 06 '15 at 11:11

Thank you @John from the comments I found out the answer.

  • First I pinned Visual Studio to Task bar.
  • Second, dragged the solution file and dropped on the exe on the Task bar (Pinned to Visual Studio)

After the second step, I was able to see the programs to the right side (tasks) of the Visual Studio short cut in the start menu.
