    Win10 Icons Are Displaying In Quick Launch Toolbar instead of the taskbar


    System: Win10 Pro with all current updates. I have two Win10 PCs....a desktop running Win10 Home and a laptop running Win10 Pro. The following problem refers to the laptop only.I have a Quick Launch Tool Bar enabled on the Win10 laptop. When I launch an app from the home screen the icon for that app shows up in the QL toolbar area instead of the taskbar. This happens if the QL toolbar is locked or not. This happens ONLY on the laptop. I also have a QL toolbar on my Win10 desktop but apps selected from the home screen on that PC appear in the taskbar. Not sure why this is different on th

  2. Quick Launch is Not Available as a Toolbar on the Taskbar

    SYMPTOMS:

    When you right-click the taskbar and point to Toolbars,
    Quick Launch
    is not visible. Also, Quick Launch is not enabled by default as a toolbar on the taskbar.

    MORE INFORMATION:

    Windows 10 lets you pin your programs to the taskbar like users of Windows 7 and 8.1 can. However, there is no practical reason to enable Quick Launch as a toolbar on the taskbar. The Quick Launch toolbar was useful on Windows 98 and up to Windows Vista
    for quickly launching applications from there.

  3. Change icon of Windows 10 Quick Launch (Custom) Toolbar

    I have created a quick launch toolbar of my Games folder (Right click taskbar → Toolbars → New Toolbar → Select Game Folder).

    This creates a toolbar that looks like this:


    Win10 Icons Are Displaying In Quick Launch Toolbar instead of the taskbar SXsAZ.png


    I am trying to change the icon of these folders on my toolbar.

    I have changed the icon of my folder on my disk, but that does not change the icon on the toolbar. I'm guessing the toolbar icons are shortcuts, but I can't find the location of the shortcuts on the disk.

    All I can find is the disk location of the normal quick launch shortcuts:
    C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

    Any idea where the toolbar shortcuts are on disk? Or any suggestions?

    Thanks for any help.

    Win10 Icons Are Displaying In Quick Launch Toolbar instead of the taskbar

    Win10Pro: Quick Launch toolbar is in the wrong place. Any way to move it to the left end of the toolbar?

    Hi,

    In the Quick Launch toolbar, you can add or remove shortcuts so that you have easy access to items you frequently use from the Quick Launch Toolbar. To move the Quick Launch toolbar to the left side of the task bar, you can follow the steps below:

    • Unlock the taskbar. Press right-click on the taskbar, and uncheck Lock all taskbars.
    • Click and hold on the dotted separator line at the left of the Quick Launch toolbar and drag it to the left.
    • When you are finished, lock the taskbar. Press right-click on the taskbar, and check
      Lock all taskbars.

    Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.
