"I cannot pin an application to the taskbar in Windows 7."

You cannot pin an application or shortcut to the taskbar if it contains any of the reserved words:
This list is stored in the registry:
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SOFTWARE
\Microsoft
\Windows
\CurrentVersion
\Explorer
\FileAssociation
AddRemoveNames REG_SZ Documentation;Help;Install;More Info;Readme;Read me;Read First;Setup;Support;What's New;Remove
In my case i could not pin our bug tracking application HelpDesk
to the taskbar.
So i renamed my shortcut to HalpDesk
.
