TASKBAR - TOOLBAR

It will be very helpful and time saving if we can have taskbar toolbar functions back in windows 11. Toolbar was really time saving and an excellent feature of windows. is there a plan to bring the toolbar back in windows 11? otherwise, many users potentially will switch back to windows 10, like myself.

Hi
In Windows 11, Microsoft has redesigned the taskbar, and the traditional toolbars from Windows 10 are no longer available in the same way. However, you can achieve similar functionality by creating a new toolbar using a folder. Here's how you can add a custom toolbar to the taskbar in Windows.

Create a New Folder: Choose a location where you want to store the items for your toolbar. Right-click on the desktop or in File Explorer, go to "New," and then select "Folder." Name the folder accordingly.

1. Add Shortcuts to the Folder: Populate the folder with shortcuts to the applications, files, or folders you want to access through the toolbar. You can create shortcuts by right-clicking on an item, selecting "Create shortcut," and then moving or copying the shortcut into your custom folder.
   
2. Unlock the Taskbar: Right-click on an empty space on the taskbar and ensure that "Lock the taskbar" is unchecked. If it's checked, click on it to unlock the taskbar.
   
3. Add a New Toolbar: Right-click on an empty space on the taskbar, hover over "Toolbars," and then select "New toolbar..."
   
4. Choose the Folder: In the "New Toolbar - Choose a folder" window, navigate to the folder you created in step 1. Select the folder and click on the "Select Folder" button.
   
   While this method doesn't provide the same level of customization as the traditional toolbars in Windows 10, it allows you to create a quick-access toolbar on the Windows 11 taskbar for your frequently used items. Keep in mind that the user interface in Windows 11 may change with updates, so future versions might offer additional features or changes.
   

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
