AutoHotkey Script with the extension .ahk can not be pinned to the taskbar so I had to find a way to do that. I've found that converting it the application (.exe) might be the way.
The test steps - AutoHotkey script for testing
OS: Windows 11 Home

1. Download AutoHotkey from https://www.autohotkey.com/.
Then install it.
I used version 1.1.34.04
2. Download AutoHotkey script from https://github.com/yunyi-the-coder/mouse-cursor-highlight-windows
Click 'Code' button -> click 'Download ZIP' -> right click at a downloaded file and click 'Extract All...'
A new window shows, check the checkbox and click Extract.
A new window of Windows Explorer shows, open folder 'mouse-cursor-highlight-windows-master'. You will see a file 'Start'.
Right click at a file 'Start' and click 'Show more options'.
Click 'Compile Script'. A new file is created as format 'Application'.
I changed the name of the file to the one that is more useful.
Drag and drop it to the taskbar.
I opened it from the taskbar. To check if it is running, click the arrow at the taskbar.
To see the options, right click at its icon.
It is the easy method, once you get the good AutoHotkey scripts, you can launch them via the taskbar. I hope there are free apps that can change the icon of applications so there's no need to create a desktop shortcut first in order to change an icon.
