Pin sites using IE9 to have seamless integration with Windows 7

Speed Up My PC

Internet Explorer 9 RC has been launched which comes with some of the coolest features. One of them is pinning sites which provides you with seamless integration with the Windows 7.

The advantage of pinning a site is that you don’t have to launch a browser first ,  you can directly access it from the Windows taskbar so that gives you convenience to pin your favorite sites like The Windows Club, Facebook, Twitter, etc, which you visit often.

Follow these simple steps to have seamless integration with Windows 7:

  • Open IE9 browser. Type the url of the site you want to pin. Here I am taking The Windows Club as an example.
  • Point your mouse to the address bar.
