  1. Windows 11 Task Bar Setting To Open App via Task Bar and Open App on Screen that I clicked...


    I have three monitors and have set the task bar to appear on all three monitors. I want to set the task bar up so that if I click on a shortcut saved in the task bar on a certain monitor that the app will open on the monitor that I clicked the task bar... Not on where the app was last opened or is currently opened. Specifically I am looking for a browser to open on that screen even though it is already opened in another occurrence on another screen. This would be edge, firefox and chrome.

    :)

  2. Drag file to app in Task Bar (to open that file with that app)

    Sorry for the thread title in case it's not clear.
    I came from a Mac so dragging a file to, let's say, the Mail app in the dock would open a new outgoing message in Mail and attach the dragged file. In Windows, I just discovered that depressing the Shift key while dragging a file to the Thunderbird icon in the Task bar would do exactly the same thing (Yeah!).

    I know that dragging the file to, let's say, Thunderbird, without depressing the Shift key would "pin" that file to the app (in the Task Bar).

    Is there a way to reverse this behavior so I wouldn't need to use the shift key for the first example? Thanks for any advice/suggestions.

  3. Settings app opens on task bar but doesn't open full screen

    As of today (16th August 2016) I can not open the settings app. Whichever way I try it only opens on the task bar but doesn't launch.

    I have windows 10 and the updates are automatic. It worked this morning.

    Hi, please try setting the bottom option using this free tweak tool.

    Dragging 'n dropping e.g. a jpg file to an Edge icon on the taskbar then offers 'Open with Edge' rather than 'Pin..'
