    currently lock the taskbar only prevents from accidentally dragging taskbar and moving it left/right/top. that actually never happened to me, when the taskbar is unlocked, I've never ever accidentally dragged the taskbar and moved it left/right/top.

    but instead it's happened lots of times when I accidentally added a new icon to taskbar, rearranged icons, deleted new icons, Unpinned an icon from taskbar.

    I need Lock the taskbar to prevent from these accidents too. this is more important and useful and makes more sense.

    Lock taskbar

    Hello dafydd, Lock the taskbar option should Lock the taskbar and prevent from accidentally rearranging... :)

    Locking the taskbar is more of a personal choice than being important.

    Some people like to lock the taskbar to prevent accidentally moving it to another screen border or changing its width/height.

    Lock pinned taskbar items so they can't be rearranged

    Occasionally I find that I've accidentally rearranged the pinned icons on my taskbar by dragging them out of order, which is mildly annoying. The somewhat obvious Lock the taskbar option doesn't affect items, only the taskbar itself.

    Is there some way to prevent the items from being moved? Registry tweaks, external programs?
