If I pin Diablo III to my taskbar, it will show up twice when the game launches, how do I prevent this? It's irritating on multiple monitors when trying to switch back and instead accidentally attempting to re-launch it.

Diablo III pinned on taskbar, then after launching:

wouldn't this be valid for any game? – Zero Stack May 25 '12 at 18:17
@Foxtrot likely others with launchers – Nick T May 25 '12 at 18:17

Instead of pinning the Diablo III link in the Start Menu which is really the launcher, pin the program itself. While the game is running, right-click it's icon and select "Pin this program to taskbar"

enter image description here

You can then unpin the other pinned Diablo III link (you may need to un-pin it from within the start menu rather than the taskbar)

Despite attempting to launch the program directly, the game will still run through the launcher/patcher.

Voila.
