  1. All my program and favorite pins are gone from task bar


    Hi, for some reason I can't post my images. But just recently, all my pinned programs are all gone and it is literally blank. Even with my chrome and all programs that are open, they don't show on the bottom anymore. All I have is windows start, search, and even the nice quick button on the right where you can quickly change wifi, bluetooth is gone. I tried searching and going through all the options but I can't fix it. Thanks!

    :)

    how to successfully pin files to the task bar

    I use to be able to drag and drop files onto the task bar and they would reside withing the file list for that program. Since the recent upgrade it appears that I am not able to pin a file to the program on the task bar. Suggestions?

  3. Edge favorites and favorites bar gone

    Hi Kim,

    Welcome to Microsoft community and thank you for posting your query.

    I would like to know some information about the issue so that we could help you better.


    • Do you have a Favorites folder at [C:\Users\your account name\Favorites] ? Does it contain all of the favorites?

    • Did you import the favorites from any browser other than Internet Explorer?
    In order to view the favorites bar, you must turn it on. Here are the steps to do this:

    1. Within Microsoft Edge, you will see a button with ellipses on it
    (...) in the top right hand corner. Click this.

    2. At the very bottom of the dropdown menu, click "Settings".

    3. Near the top of the next page, you will see a section titled "Show the favorites bar" and a switch beneath it. Simply click this switch into the on positon and your favorites bar should immediately appear underneath the search
    bar at the top of Microsoft Edge

    To restore your favorites I would suggest you to try the steps mentioned below and check if it helps.

    How to restore the favorite’s folder in Internet Explorer.


    • To open the Registry Editor, click Start.

    • Type regedit into the Start Search field.

    • Press Enter.

    • Find Favorites under the following Registry keys:

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\Shell folders
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\User Shell folders

      HKEY_USERS\.default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\Shell folders

      HKEY_USERS\.default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\User Shell folders

    • Right click it and select Modify. The Edit String dialog will open.

    • Verify that the Value Data field contains the correct location of your Favorites folder. If it does not, enter the right location to restore your missing Favorites folder to Internet Explorer.

      C:\Users\NetID\Favorites

    • Close the registry editor.

    • Open Internet Explorer to confirm that your favorites are there.

      Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that
      you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number

  4. All my program and favorite pins are gone from task bar

    IE11 - No Tabs, No Favorites Bar

    My Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10 has gone very strange.

    • I have no Favorites Bar; I know how to toggle it on and off, but it will not come back
      • my Favorites are still there in the Favorites Menu bar tab (Menu Bar and Status Bar appears to be the
        only Bars I can turn on and off)
    • I have only one Tab, and can't see any others - even thought they are there somewhere - as the Taskbar Icon preview shows.

    Steps I have taken to fix this:

    • restored Advanced Settings via Internet Options Advanced - and reboot
    • reset IE11 settings completely via Internet Options Advanced - and reboot
    • removed IE11 completely via CP, Programs and Features, Windows Features - and reboot
    • reinstall IE11 via CP, Programs and Features, Windows Features - and reboot

    None of these steps made any difference.

    I don't know what else to try.

    Any ideas?
