  1. Stop taskbar items "sticking together" when I drag one item?


    For example, I have several Word documents open. It won't let me move 1 of them on the taskbar and change it's position. Instead, Windows clumps them all together. I just want to move the *1 item*, not all 5 of them. I don't see any option to turn this off. I already set TaskbarGlomLevel in Regedit to 2, but it's still happening.

    :)

  2. 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

  3. 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?
