[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47527] Octave pinned on Windows 7 taskbar, icon appearance changes

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #47527 (project octave):

Pinning the Octave icon to the taskbar didn't work at all for me (it seemed to
launch the Windows script host, rather than running the script itself). The
following workaround worked perfectly for me (retaining the correct icon).

1) Navigate to the folder containing the Octave start menu program listing
(e.g. C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsOctave-4.0.0).

2) Right-click the "Octave (GUI)" shortcut and create shortcut to this
shortcut. Agree to place on Desktop (will be deleted later).

3) Right-click the newly created shortcut and click "Properties". Prefix the
target with wscript.exe.

4) Drag the shortcut onto the taskbar.

5) Delete the shortcut.
