    How to prevent Pinning or Unpinning of Taskbar items in Windows 10

  2. Moving pinned items on Windows 10 taskbar

    Thanks for your reply.

    Just in case this was a result of a poor description of the problem by me, I will explain in detail.

    I have Excel permanently pinned to the taskbar. When I right click the Excel tile, the context menu shows a list of Pinned items at the top and Recent items below that. I believe these are called jump lists.

    When I hover over an item on the Pinned list a push pin (), overlaid with a no entry sign (), is displayed to the right of the item.

    I can click on the pin to unpin it from the pinned list.

    Under Windows 7, I was able to left click on an item in the pinned list and drag it up or down to a different position in the list. This drag and drop functionality has never worked for me under Windows 10. As I noted in my original post,
    the only way to resequence pinned items it to unpin all items then repin in the desired sequence.

    Do you know if the drag/drop functionality will be re-introduced in the Windows 10 anniversary update?

  3. Moving pinned items on Windows 10 taskbar

    In Windows 7 you could drag a pinned item on a taskbar tile to move it up and down the list of pinned items.

    This drag/drop functionality is not available in Windows 10 - I read somewhere that the only way to resquequence pinned items it to unpin all items then repin in the desired sequence.

    This is a pain.

    Does anyone know if the drag/drop functionality will be re-introduced in the Windows 10 anniversary update?

    Thanks

    Pin or Unpin Items on Jump Lists in Windows 10


    @Brink:
    Another couple of tricks I've found:

    If you create a 'Super Hidden' folder and pin it to Quick Access, then re-hide 'Protected System Files and Folders', it will no longer show in the Navigation Pane but, it will still show in File Explorer Taskbar Jump Lists, and be navigable.

    Also, there are certain folders you can pin to Quick Access, such as 'search-ms:', when there, but they too will not show in the Navigation Pane but will also show in Taskbar Jump Lists!

    Thought this info may be useful! *Wink
