Windows 10: Can I move a taskbar icon that is pinned, to the middle or right on windows 10?

I want to move the taskbar icon you see on this image:to the middle or right of the taskbar, so it's not always next to what I'm using. Is this possible?

Pin taskbar icons on the right side?

You can try one of these steps. Instead of centering them, just move them to the right. How to center Taskbar icons in Windows 10

 

Pinning Word File to Taskbar

Works fine for me. I tested it in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Example: Test.docx

• Rename Test.docx to Test.docx.exe
• Right-click on Test.docx.exe and select "Pin to taskbar"
• Right-click on pinned icon on taskbar
• Right-click on pinned "Test.docx.exe" file name in list
• Select Properties
• Change target from TEST.docx.exe to TEST.docx
• Important do not click OK yet
• Rename original file TEST.docx.exe to TEST.docx
• Now click OK in properties dialog
• Double-clicking on pinned icon opens TEST.docx

BTW, this even works with a Notepad .txt file

 

Pinned Icons In Taskbar, But No Pinned Shortcut Files Remain

Windows 10, Version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1466)

About a week ago I noticed a pinned file in my taskbar. I right-clicked it and chose delete from the context menu. A white file replaced it. Here I a week later and the file still remains. I intentionally added another this morning, deleted it, and another white file appeared (as pictured).

1. I tried to delete the file a second time by right-clicking and choosing delete. But the file couldn't be found.
   
   
   
   
   
2. I checked %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar but no files are present.
3. I tried rebuilding the icon cache and restarting. The new white file that appeared this morning did go away. But a single white file still remains. The file disappeared when Explorer.exe was restarted. It did not take rebooting to get it to disappear.
   
   
   

Any ideas on what I might try next?
