Windows 10: Add start-like folder in taskbar

Is there an option to add a folder to taskbar that would behave like a start menu, meaning that it will popup and show apps/shortcuts/files from that folder?


I'd really like to have this in order to reduce the cluster from my desktop.

Taskbar Folders

Hi all, I have around 3 dozen apps on my taskbar, and there is not enough space for them to all fit on one line, so I get an ugly scroll bar to switch between the 2 lines. I figure that if there could be folders on the taskbar, I could get to my apps more
easily than scrolling through lines. I'd imagine that they would be like folders in the start menu, and when you hover over them, it would act as if it was a window and pop out of the taskbar, thus revealing the contents of the folders. Just a suggestion,
any advice on how to organise my taskbar would be nice, thanks!

 

How how do you always display text for start menu folders?

Hi,

Start Menu is one of the feature enhanced in Windows 10. You can customize Start Menu by following these steps:

• Open Settings.
• Choose Personalization.
• Click Start.

These are the options that you can see under Start:

• With the Show more tiles, you can expand tile column.
• Turning on Occasionally show suggestions in Start will show suggestions in Windows 10.
  
• Show most used apps will show most used apps list on Start Menu.
  
• Enabling Show recently added apps will display the program you installed last.
  
• You can also view Start Menu in full screen by enabling Use Start full screen.
• Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar
  will show your recently opened items.
• To choose what apps or folders you like to appear on you Start Menu, you can click
  Choose which folders appear on Start.

Note: You can also resize the Start Menu by simply dragging the top or the right edge of the Start Menu.

Let us know how it goes.
