  1. How to move icons from second "row" of taskbar to first "row" of taskbar?


    Hi!My taskbar is at the bottom of my screen, which is fine for me.My taskbar has two "rows" in that I have to click a down arrow on the right in order to drop to the second row of icons, because there are too many icons in my taskbar for one "row", again which is fine for me.But, I can't figure out how to move icons that appear in the second "row" of icons to the first "row" of icons, and vice versa. I can change the order of the icons as long as I stay in the same row, by clicking and dragging. But how do I move an icon from the second row to the first row, and vice versa? Clicking on an icon

    :)

  2. Allow for 2 rows of icons in taskbar?


    Hi Brink, thanks for the welcome.

    locking/unlocking and adjusting the height/width of the taskbar is easy enough to do. But the issue I'm looking into is how to allow for 2 rows of icons within the taskbar.
    I don't have a Win7 machine available right now to snapshot for you, but in Win7 you could create multiple rows of icons within the taskbar. (I did find an image on Google close enough to reference)

    Within Win10, we seem to have lost that feature. It appears that I can only have a single row of icons that will make you continue scrolling in a single line across the taskbar.

    I'm just wondering if there's a way to allow multiple rows of icons in the taskbar again in Win10

  3. Allow for 2 rows of icons in taskbar?


    Wondering if this feature still exists in Windows10 and how to accomplish it.

    Back in Win7, I could unlock the taskbar and make it wider. This allowed me to drop more icons into the taskbar and would allow me to have two rows of icons.

    With Win10 I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this. I follow the same steps, but it centers the icons in the middle of the wider task bar and then will run the icons down so you have to scroll to see the rest of them.

    Any way I can set it up to act like it did in Win7?
