  1. Drag and drop pinned items from the task bar - Windows 10


    I have a series of pinned excel documents on the taskbar. On windows 7 I could drag and drop those pinned files to other folder locations(ie. E-mail, windows explorer, or the desktop). I noticed when I upgraded to Windows 10 there is no longer drag and drop functionality to pinned documents.

    Is there a setting to turn this feature on?
    Is there a workaround?

    Will this be addressed in a future update?

    I hope I articulated myself well and I welcome any feedback,
    Thank you,

    Joshua

  2. Sorting items pinned to the task bar

    In Windows 7, I could drag items to an icon pinned to the task bar to pin additional items (e.g. I could drag miscellaneous Excel files to the Excel icon pinned to the task bar, right click on the Excel icon and select the file I want to open as a quick
    link without cluttering up my desktop). In Windows 7, I was able to drag / drop those pinned items to sort them in a specific order (e.g. alphabetical). I seem to have lost the ability to sort those items in Windows 10. Is there a trick to it or is this
    a bug with Windows 10?

    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?

  4. Drag and drop pinned items from the task bar - Windows 10

    No Windows 10 drag and drop feature to email from task bar

    One of the most convenient features of Windows 8.1 was the drag and drop feature directly from the task bar. For instance, I could right-click the Microsoft Word icon, or any office software, pinned to my task bar, and could select from any recent file.
    I could then click on the file name and drag the file directly from the recent file list into my gmail. This was very convenient way to add an attachment because I didn't have to open the file explorer, then search for my file, then drag and drop it from the
    saved location or folder.

    Unfortunately I cannot do the same thing after I upgraded to Windows 10 software. Is there some way to troubleshoot this? Or will this not be a feature of this current version?

    Any help would be great,
