Well I got ERUNT finally in the taskbar. Actually it is on the left side. Here is what I did. Right click on the taskbar>properties>taskbar then check the Quick Launch button. You should see a panel like the normal taskbar on the right also on the left. You can drag the little dotted bar to make it larger if needed. Now go to the start menu or you can go to the desktop icon for ERUNT, right click holding down and drag it to this quick launch area, a little menu will come up, select "create shortcut here". You should not be able to just click the little icon and start a backup. If you want to delete any icons from this Quick Launch, just right click the icon and select delete.
