    How drag an icon to the quick start area of the Taskbar


    I have a program icon on my Desktop and would like to drag it to the Quick Start area of the Taskbar (the area second from the right of the screen / to the left of the system tray or notification area.) I've tried left clicking and dragging - and right clicking and dragging - but the area won't accept the icon. I must be doing something wrong but don't know what. Please help.

    :)

    Missing Notification area Icon in Windows 10 control Panel

    thanks , but you did not understand the problem.

    I have since found the solution wlsewhere:

    To add a hidden icon to the notification area


    • Click the arrow next to the notification area, and then drag the icon you want to move to the notification area. You can drag as many hidden icons to the notification area as you want.

    To
    always show all icons on the taskbar



    • Right-click an empty area on the taskbar, and then click Properties.

    • Under Notification area, click Customize.

    • Select the Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar check box, and then click
      OK.

    How drag an icon to the quick start area of the Taskbar

    Icon problem in Win 10 Quick Start on Task Bar

    When I add icons to the Quick Start area of the Windows 10 taskbar they show up as identical, simple generic rectangles rather than useful & distinct icon pictures. I've restarted but the problem remains. The icons appear normal in the main taskbar launch
    area. How do I make them display as useful icons in Quick Start?
