    Duplicated One drive shortcut in task bar


    I linked my personal Onedrive to my laptop as well as my institution account and for whatever reason the personal one shows duplicated in the shortcut bar. I tried to log out and in and still got it twice. Any ideas how to fix it?Thanks!

    Windows 10 move .bat shortcut to task bar

    I want to be able to launch a .bat file I've written from the task bar.

    I've successfully created the shortcut and have located it in Explorer. However, Windows doesn't do anything when I drag the shortcut to the task bar, and it doesn't display "task bar" as a destination in the "Send To" menu.

    Is this a new restriction, or is it possible to have a bat launcher on the task bar?

    Steps to reproduce:

    • Create a .bat file on the desktop (contents don't matter).
    • Create a shortcut to that .bat file.
    • Try to drag the shortcut to the task bar from Explorer.
    • Right-click the shortcut and look in vain for some way of making it launchable from the task bar.
    • GIVE UP

    OS: Windows 10 Pro
