You can add your own files to the Task Pane, but nothing beyond that as far
as I know.

Sub AddToTaskPane()
Dim x As NewFile
CommandBars("Task Pane").Visible = False
Set x = Application.NewWorkbook
x.Add "c:\bookNew.xls", msoNew
CommandBars("Task Pane").Visible = True
End Sub

Sub RemoveFromTaskPane()
Dim x As NewFile
CommandBars("Task Pane").Visible = False
Set x = Application.NewWorkbook
x.Remove "c:\bookNew.xls", msoNew
CommandBars("Task Pane").Visible = True
End Sub
