  1. I can't move icons on the taskbar and I can't move links on or off the bookmarks bar


    I just got a Lenovo Ideapad Flex laptop, and I'm having trouble with both my taskbar and my bookmarks bar. I can't move an icon on the taskbar to another position "click and drag" doesn't seem to work on a touchscreen, and my touchpad isn't working. Also, I can't move links on and off my bookmarks bar. The settings, as far as I can tell, are correct, so what do I have to do to move things around on this machine? I had no problems on my last machine, a Dell.

    :)

    Trying to move desktop icon to the task bar. Cannot make it “stick” to the taskbar

    Hi,

    To assist you further, let me ask.


    • When you say “Trying to move desktop icon to the task bar”, you mean pin the excel workbook to the task bar?
    • what exactly when you try to stick the excel file to the taskbar?
    If you are trying to pin the excel workbook to the taskbar.

    Follow the steps below.


    • Click on the start menu, select the icon and right-click on the icon.

    • From the list, select pin it to taskbar or pin it to start.
    Also, you can drag the icon from the desktop and drop on the task bar.

    I hope the information is helpful and if the issue still persists, we’ll be glad to assists you.

    Thank you.
