  3. Is there an easy way to place an image or text label on the taskbar?

    My monitor is shared between PC's with a KVM switch. I'd like to show a label on the taskbar to indicate which is connected.

    I've tried creating an image and dragging it to the taskbar, but it just shows the icon for an app to display the image.

    Any suggestions?

    how do i always show taskbar labels?

    How to make taskbar labels wider?


    I always have labels showing in my taskbar so I can see exactly what I have open with the titles of each spreadsheet for example listed in my taskbar rather than hidden behind an icon.

    However it is frustrating how narrow the labels are because the titles are always cut off. This is more of a problem when document have log prefix's.

    Does anyone know if this can be edited at all? I know that it can't be edited just using settings.
