  1. Taskbar - Is there a way to Pin a container of shortcuts?


    Is there a way to Pin an object to the taskbar that when I clicked it, it would fly out a menu of shortcuts/programs I put in there? Kind of like jump lists for specific programs except it would be a bunch of shortcuts. For work I have a variety of tools I use throughout the day (too many to just pin them all) it would be nice that I could click an object in the taskbar and have it give me a nice menu of shortcuts I specify.

    I found a software package called Bins that seems like what I'm looking for, but one of their Windows 10 limitations is that it will only work on the primary screen's taskbar and not the others.

    Any ideas? Free is ideal, but I would consider spending a little to get this functionality.

    :)

    Is there a way to pin subtitles to a video in Movies & TV?

    Hello,

    I am a Windows 10 user and as such, I usually use the Movies & TV application to watch movies. Recently, I wanted to watch a movie with subtitles and I noticed that some have already been added to the film I downloaded (the "1. und" file).

    Unfortunately, they weren't correctly synced so I downloaded another .srt file ("E01"), selected it and everything worked well.

    My only problem is that every time I want to watch the movie, I have to add the "E01" subtitles again – because unlike the "1. und" ones they don't stay pinned to the movie. I am not a lazy person, I can very well add them again and again, but since the
    old ones clearly stay pinned I couldn't help wondering if there is a way to pin the new subtitles permanently to the film as well. I know there are ways to insert subtitles permanently into a film, choosing your own font etc., but that is not what I am interested
    in – I would like to watch the movie both with and without them.

    I hope my question isn't confusing! Thank you in advance for your answers.

  3. Is there a way to pin subtitles to a video in Movies & TV?

    Hi Jane,

    The ability to permanently pin a new subtitle while there is already a pinned subtitle on the movie itself is still not available in the Movies and TV app yet. You may send this idea to our Feedback Hubb app for our software developers and engineers to consider
    them as one of the new feature which will be released in future Windows updates. Click the link to begin sending your suggestion.

    Send feedback to Microsoft with the Feedback Hub app

    Feel free to post should you need further assistance.

    Regards.

    Taskbar - Is there a way to Pin a container of shortcuts?

    Hello Mike, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

    If you like, you could also use OPTION ONE below in Windows 10 to add a folder as a new toolbar on the taskbar, and place your shortcuts in the folder.

  5. Just tried it, but as I feared it merely opens the folder in explorer showing the shortcuts. I was looking for a menu that wouldn't require opening another window.

    But when I followed that link it reminded me about toolbars. I created a new toolbar from that folder with the shortcuts and it is almost exactly what I was looking for. But it seems that it only on the main screen. Any ideas if its possible to have that toolbar appear on both screens?

    You should see something like this below if the folder you selected to be added as a "New toolbar" has items in it.

    I just use the desktop toolbar and place my program shortcuts in a folder on my desktop, then hide the desktop icon, and use desktop toolbar, arrange the toolbar's icons how I want them, then I have total access to every bit of my system.

    You can also adjust it to where you want it on the toolbar, and even with a bit of work, pull the recycle bin out, and have a working recycle bin on you taskbar.

    I have used 7 stacks from its beginning. It appears to no longer being updated but it doesn't need to be. It works as expected in Win10
    I have 3 of these on the taskbar. 1 for most used, 1 for specific files, 1 for drives and drive utilities. I prefer text lists either arranged with a number or alphabetically.
    For the first use of the day there is a slight delay when clicking on the taskbar icon containing the shortcuts. After that any reopening is quick.
