Hello everyone.
I am looking at Win 11 now and starting to make plans.
One of the most depressing things for me is that I have long used the Taskbar in previous versions of Windows in a very strange way.
I create toolbars with all my frequently used apps, place them on the toolbar, and unusually locate the taskbar on my second monitor while keeping the primary monitor free of any taskbars, links or whatever. This is so I can use applications on the primary monitor and easily switch to the second monitor to run secondary applications like a browser to look data up on the web relating to my main application. The taskbar contains all my apps so I just click on anything I want.
I think the first problem may well be that there doesn't seem to be toolbars on the Taskbar anymore. That's a huge issue for me, but oh well, I guess I will have to live with that. The second problem is that I don't think it is even possible to move the taskbar to a secondary monitor without making it your primary monitor. Is that right? If so, does anyone know of a way around this? This would represent a really fundamental change in the way I work, a change that would not be welcome at all.
