If you can't get that to work then click on the start button, find the icon you want on the start menu (if it's on the desktop chances are it's on the start menu somewhere too). once you've found the icon right click on it and select "pin to taskbar"

OK bit more investigation.
With a text document I can pin the document to the task bar, but if I just click on it it opens a blank notepad document no matter what the icon on the desktop contained. If I right click on it then I get a menu and one of the options is to open the document I created.
Now it would seem there might be some particularities with pinning stuff to the taskbar, possibly depending on what the document is.
What is the document you are trying to pin actually created in?
