    <p>According to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6378098/how-to-prevent-an-app-from-being-pinned-in-windows-7">this post</a>, you can use the <a href="http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/WindowsAPICodePack/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4906" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Windows API Code Pack</a> but the required classes are internal. The OP said that they copied 50k lines of code to get it working. I'm not sure if it's improved since that post but here's a workaround I just thought of. Since you can only pin EXE files (and shortcuts as per comment) to the taskbar, you could rename your application to a non-exe extension (most non-exe extensions cannot be pinned). </p> <p>When you want to call it from your other app, rename it to <code>.exe</code>, launch it, then rename it back again. For example:</p> <pre><code>Process p = new Process(); //fake extension so it can't be drag/dropped to taskbar string fakeExtensionName = @"C:\MyFile\myProgram.test"; //what it's actually called string exeExtensionName = @"C:\MyFile\myProgram.exe"; //rename the fake one to the real one File.Move(fakeExtensionName, exeExtensionName); p.StartInfo.FileName = exeExtensionName; //launch the real one p.Start(); //rename it back to the fake extension File.Move(exeExtensionName, fakeExtensionName); </code></pre> <p>Anyone can rename it to an exe if they really wanted to, so your program should assume that a user can launch it directly and handle that scenario, but any file can be pinned to the taskbar by renaming it to an exe so there's no protection around that.</p>

    1. COToday I learned that the only thing that determines whether a file can be pinned onto the taskbar is if it has the `.exe` extension.

    2. CO@BoltClock - I may be incorrect in saying it's the only extension but certainly one of the few. That's why a neat hack is to rename any file you want to pin as an exe, then right click on it, edit properties, and set the target path back to the original file format ;)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
