Properties window button in taskbar?

[Guest]

Hello

Is there a way to get the right click on a file/folder properties window to
show in the taskbar like other programs? When I leave it for some reason but
don't want to close it, that would be preferable to minimizing every program
I used since leaving that window to see the file/folder properties window
again.

Thanx in advance

Why don't control panel programs and property sheets show up in the
taskbar?:

Explanation from Raymond Chen [MSFT]

"Control panel programs and property sheets don't show up in the taskbar.
Why not?

As I recall, the explanation was that control panel programs and property
sheets aren't applications. They are auxiliary helper windows that assist
you with a task, but they aren't a program in their own right. Therefore,
they don't get a taskbar button.

I've always been kind of suspicious of that explanation, but there it is,
make of it what you will. (I don't mind the behavior-putting them in the
taskbar just creates clutter-but the explanation I found kind of wanting.) "
