Lotus Notes 8 – Windows 7

Lotus Notes 8 has an inherent issue on Windows 7, you can’t pin the running Lotus Notes application to the taskbar.

If you do you receive the following error message:

The Notes2 executable launcher was unable to locate its companion launcher jar.

The reason is quite simple: Lotus Notes is a compilation of application that run, not just one single executable, hence the icon that is displayed in your Taskbar is not the launcher.

The only way to get it pinned to your taskbar is to find the shortcut in the start menu, right-click it and select “Pin to Taskbar”. Downside is that you get two Notes icons in the Taskbar, the launcher and the running application, bummer.
