Windows 10: Adding a parent-folder as a symbol to the Infosection of the Taskbar

I have a parent folder with some more child folders. I want to add it to the Infosection that is located on the right side of the Taskbar. The parent-folder can be added with just a symbol or also with a name. But pls don't confuse it with adding this folder to Taskbar just by pinning it. Hope you guys understand what I mean! would be happy to receive some answers. Thank youRegards,Keeran

Parental Control - Adding more time doesn't work

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. I will assist you with this.

I suggest you to delete the corrupted files yourself and see if it helps to resolve the issue, please follow these steps:

1) Make sure your children are signed out of any monitored accounts.

2) Sign in with an administrator account and find the folder that contains the corrupted files.

There are two ways to do this. The easiest way is to enter the complete file path:

• 
  On the Start screen, type C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Parental Controls and press Enter.
  

• 
  If you’d rather open each folder individually, follow these steps:
  

a. Go to This PC

b. Open C:, open the
ProgramData folder, open the Microsoft folder, open the
Windows folder, and open the Parental Controls folder.

3) Delete all contents of the Parental Controls folder.

This will delete any corrupt files. Your settings will be downloaded again from familysafety.microsoft.com the next time you sign in.

Hope it helps. Reply with the result and I'll be happy to help you further. Thank you

 

Adding a folder as an Icon to the Taskbar

Hello Bluehills,

One possible way to add a folder as an icon to the taskbar in Windows 11 is to use the Quick Launch toolbar. Here are the steps to do that:

1. Right-click on an empty space on the taskbar and select Toolbars > New toolbar.

2. In the dialog box that opens, navigate to the folder that contains your shortcuts and select it. Click on Select Folder.

3. You should see a new toolbar on the right of the taskbar with the name of the folder. You can drag it to adjust its position and size.

4. To remove the text and show only icons, right-click on the toolbar and uncheck Show Text and Show Title.

5. To change the icon of the folder, right-click on it and select Properties. Click on Change Icon and choose an icon from the list or browse for a custom one. Click OK to apply the changes.

You have now added a folder as an icon to the taskbar in Windows 11. You can access your shortcuts by clicking on the icon and choosing from the menu that pops up.

Hope this helps,

Fathia
