    Rearrange Buttons on Taskbar?

    Windows 10 22H2

    I've forgotten how to rearrange the buttons on my taskbar. My laptop is dying so I've switched to my PC, which has the taskbar buttons in a different order than I'm used to seeing them on my old laptop. So I thought I could just left-click on a button and then drag and drop it to the left or to the right. But the buttons just don't budge.

    I googled for help and found similar instructions:

    What's the trick to dislodging these stubborn critters?

    Rearrange Buttons on Taskbar?

    just solved the mystery: I was expecting to see some kind of change in the appearance of the button when I clicked on it, and
    My experience is different... here's one being dragged..

    Rearrange Buttons on Taskbar?

    Aha! I think I figured out why why my installation behaves differently. I noticed on the Start button an icon of a blue seashell. And that reminded me that years ago I had installed a program that modifies the Windows 10 interface to make it look and feel more like earlier versions of Windows. Just now I right clicked on the Start button and got a popup menu with the heading "Open-Shell Menu." Digging further I also found that I had installed an app called "Taskbar Tweaker." So I suspect I have found the culprit.
