Windows 10: The unilateral decisions to restrict the task bar to a single layer at the bottom of the...

I watched an episode of Dave's Attic where some smartly-dressed arrogant clown said the real reason we can no longer modify the position or height of the task bar is because paraphrasing now "nobody ever moves it. only about 3-5% of the people really are weird enough to move it to the side or the top.

Windows 10 move .bat shortcut to task bar

I want to be able to launch a .bat file I've written from the task bar.

I've successfully created the shortcut and have located it in Explorer. However, Windows doesn't do anything when I drag the shortcut to the task bar, and it doesn't display "task bar" as a destination in the "Send To" menu.

Is this a new restriction, or is it possible to have a bat launcher on the task bar?

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a .bat file on the desktop (contents don't matter).
  
• Create a shortcut to that .bat file.
  
• Try to drag the shortcut to the task bar from Explorer.
  
• Right-click the shortcut and look in vain for some way of making it launchable from the task bar.
  
• GIVE UP
