(1) Aligning the task bar to the left of the screen
(2) Removing unwanted icons from the taskbar: right-click and “UnPin”.
In one or more applications, I used RevoUninstaller to flush the application (Edge? OneDrive) but still had to unpin the icon from the task bar.
(3) How to Pin Almost Anything to the Windows 11 Taskbar Basically, open the application using a sledgehammer, and once its icon appears in the taskbar, right-click the icon and choose “Pin to Taskbar”. (bad, because you can’t just pin an existing shortcut; you have to load the application which, frankly, may not yet be installed) In the rightmost circled area you can see that I have managed to load Thunderbird, Excel, Word, Firefox, MSPaint and Notepad to my taskbar,
(4) Windows File Explorer (left-pointing arrow)
But see this post (below)
I need help with File Explorer which I use as a shortcut whose Properties read
Code: Select all
C:\Windows\explorer.exe /e,T:\maint
I have changed the icon on the desktop shortcut to a red button to distinguish it from the regular Explorer icon,
I open Explorer, the yellow-folder icon appears in the taskbar, I right-click and Pin, but it is the original yellow-folder icon that appears.
I shutdown Explorer and click my new taskbar icon, and while Explorer opens, I am NOT opened in T:\Maint.
Anyone can get this to work (a) opening in T:\Maint and (b) the changed icon appearing in the task bar gets an extra year added to their subscription at Eileen’s Lounge.
(5) Outstanding debris (down-pointing arrow) These two icons appear to be a part of Search which I think I don’t need as long as I have the search box. And an extra desktop. Most of the time I have NOTHING on my desktop because I like my random wallpaper selections from about 5,000 image files collected over the years.
Anyone fix this for me gets an extra year added to their subscription at Eileen’s Lounge.
I have no idea why my desktop has gone all-black. It was lovely images earlier today.
Sigh!
(LATER) In a brilliant move I have pinned SETTINGS to the task bar. Now I can really get into some sort of trouble!
Also CMD.EXE
