    Greetings all!

    I know that this can be done with the Explorer Patcher and with another Tray-something program, but ideally, I'd like to do it with either a registry entry or something similar, as you no longer have the right-click menu option from the taskbar (M$ screwing things up again!)

    BTW, I'm also switching back to the Classic Start Menu.

    Thanks!

    I could be wrong but don't count on Microsoft leaving anything in the system that lets you do what you want. I think you were referring to true launch bar.

    Never heard of "true launch bar" - the instructions I found for switching back to the Classic Start Menu (new reg Dword value), did not work. I don't like having my icons "pinned", I like the very functional Quick Launch. The removed it in Win10, but you could still right-click on the TASKBAR and select TOOLBARS > Add New Toolbar, and then put - %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

    I found other websites that indicate a similar process (just a slightly different path), but I have NO right-click options other than TASKBAR SETTINGS & TASK MANAGER available. :~(
