Can I have the Windows 7 taskbar pinned icons change like they do when unpinned?

I just discovered that if Windows Explorer is unpinned from my taskbar it displays the icon of the currently active folder. This is what I see if it's pinned

But if it's unpinned I see the current icon.

I really like seeing the "correct" icon, and I've noticed this also applies to other programs that have varying icons.

Is there a way I can have explorer pinned, but to see the icons as though it's unpinned?
