I'd like to pin a .jar file to the taskbar, but in a way, that the pinned icon doesn't open a new instance of the program on the task bar, but uses the pinned icon itself as the application taskbar button.
javaw.exe -jar "C:\path\to\executable.jar"
cmd.exe /c "C:\path\to\executable.jar"
both create new instances on the taskbar, and these are the only two solutions I could come up with. I know that they create new instances, because the targets of the respective pinned icons are cmd.exe and javaw.exe, while the .jar file is just an argument, so basically I would need a way to pin the .jar file as target to my taskbar, I just don't know how (if it's possible at all).
Thanks in advance!

- Some of the hardware might seem odd (PSU, SSD), but I'm not wasting money on replacing perfectly functional hardware only because a newer version is out. Nor am I willing to pay extortion money for replacements or intended upgrades (GPU, RAM), especially if that "upgrade" has a hardware design flaw (CPU).
