If your version of cracked Minecraft uses a .jar file for the launcher, doesn't it bug you when you can't pin it to your taskbar?
I've figured out how to do it!
Here are the steps:
1. Go to the lovation where your minecraft launcher is located.
2. Copy the Launcher.jar to the same directory as the original. It should appear as something like Launcher (2).jar.
3. Right click Launcher (2).jar and select Open with...
4. Find and select WinRAR (or 7Zip, I guess).
5. Once you are inside of Launcher (2).jar in WinRAR, go back to the original directory where the Launcher .jars are located (using WinRAR, not Windows Explorer).
6. Right click on Launcher (2).jar and select Rename.
7. Replace the .jar extension with .exe.
8. Close WinRAR and go back to the directory in Windows Explorer.
9. Right click Launcher (2).exe and select Rename.
10. Name it Minecraft (.exe, but don't include the .exe in the name).
11. Drag Minecraft.exe to the taskbar and pin it there.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T STOP HERE!
12. Close Windows Explorer.
13. Shift + right click the Minecraft.exe you pinned to the taskbar. Select Properties.
14. In the Target textbox, replace whereveryourlauncheris\Minecraft.exe to whereveryourlauncheris\Launcher.jar (the original cracked Minecraft launcher).
15. (Optional) Look up "minecraft logo" on Google and download one of the grass block images. Find an online image to .ico file converter and upload the image to it. Download the converted icon file. Shift + Right click on Minecraft.exe on the taskbar and select Change Icon... . Click Browse and go to your Downloads directory (or wherever you downloaded the icon file). Select the logo icon. Click OK. Now the Minecraft on your taskbar actually looks like Minecraft!
I hope you benefit from this article, as it took a LONG time to write!
