    Why, WHY can I not drag something of my choice onto the taskbar? Why did Windows sabotage...


    I have been trying to figure out why it won't let me drag from file explorer to the task bar. I'm trying to organize my workflow on my work computer and I'm discovering that Microsoft apparently despises its user base. Was this seriously yanked out from under us in the transition between windows 10 & 11? That we were practically conned into downloading? Please tell me there is a way to do this INCREDIBLY BASIC THING.
