Hello,

Is there no way to get rid of the Icon Labels WITHOUT combining? I usually have several spreadsheets open at a time, and know which ones they are by their location on the task bar.
I don't want to see the labels to give me more room on the taskbar, but I can't use the Combine feature or I will need the labels to determine which is which. Obviously that would defeat the purpose...

Barring that, is there no way to 'stack' the taskbar so there are two rows of tasks. I used to be able to do this...

Thanks.

Connie

You can use Windhawk to achieve this

I'm assuming that's software. My employer has barred us from downloading software. Thank you though. :)

Using virtual desktops isn't an option for you?
They can be renamed as well by right-clicking.
