  1. Is there a way to visually separate some taskbar icons from others?


    My taskbar is full, and I would like to know if there was a way to visually separate some taskbar icons from others.

    Like, if I could have something like browser icons | developing tools icons | design tools icons , and so on, you get the idea. Is there a way to do that?

    System Icons on taskbar

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

    If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:


    • Click on the search bar on the taskbar.

    • Type system icons.

    • Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.

    Hope it helps.

    Individual/Independent Separate UnGrouped Outlook Taskbar Icons

    Hello,
    I hope everyone is going well! Quick question;

    As the title suggests, is there any way for me to have two separate ungrouped Outlook taskbar icons, using regedit or other means? For example; one icon for opening my outlook mailbox and another ungroup icon that opens the outlook calendar?

    All ideas welcome and many thanks in advance! Is there a way to visually separate some taskbar icons from others? :)

    Device: Win10-Pro, XPS15-7590
