Thanks, again, for all the detailed information. Unfortunately, I won't be able to use it right away, as there are a couple of immediate demands on my time that I have to address, and which will occupy me for a couple of weeks before I can get back to this. I apologize. When I will return to...

I’m going to respond to the various suggestions to date in just this one post. @antspants: I have used Start11 in the past….did it start life as Start8 when MS tried to force PC users to act like tablet users? I will take a look at it again. I just tried your suggestion of pinning a folder of...

Thanks again for all the suggestions above. Going through them all, as well as various threads relating to them online, and playing around with Win 11 (is it still “playing” when you tear out chunks of hair that you can ill afford to lose?) helped clarify what I want to accomplish. The...

I thought I had replied to this, but must have done so on the wrong thread. I had written: I'll try and get back to this soon.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I have started to go through all the suggestions (a wee bit overwhelming!). Unfortunately, everyday life is intruding on my ability to spend a lot of time on this for the next few days, but I will get back with more questions once I have researched all...

I just got a Lenovo Carbon 7th Gen with Windows 11 because my 5th Gen (with Win 10) cannot be charged. My original intent was to swap harddrives, and I got excellent advice about how to do this and potential pitfalls in TenForum.com. I had used Win 11 on another computer some years ago, and...

idy mistake was that I downloaded the AMD zip file, instead of the Intel one! The correct version did reduce the height of the icon bar as well as the icon size. Unfortunately, I had hoped that it would also change the icon spacing in the taskbar, and it didn't. So, there is still this huge...

Thanks. I was just looking at Winaero that Ghot had recommended, and it said to use ExplorerPatcher. I'll compare the 3 programs.

Thanks, but I want to make the Taskbar, and, more importantly, the taskbar icons and the horizontal spacing between them smaller. They occupy too much real estate.

I did do the Registry change also, but thanks for reminding me.

Drat!

I just tried it on the C: drive, and same message. I knew I should have bought a Dell!!!

Hi @Ghot. I just ran Parts A and B (Reg change and Vivetool), but, unfortunately, got this message: and the taskbar and icons stayed the same. Just thought I'd let you know.

I'm having a problem with this. I did the registry change, and then did the command in the zvive directory. It came back with this message: I rebooted, but the taskbar is still the same size. Any suggestions? I'm using WIn 11 22H2 Build 22621.1778. I'm working on a Lenovo Ideacenter 5 desktop.

Thanks. I have used Winaero. I'll give Vivetool a shot.
