Windows 10’s taskbar can get a bit overwhelming once you pin a lot of your essential apps. If you’re someone who needs the convenience of adding as many shortcuts as possible without sacrificing the free space on the entirety of your taskbar, there exists a new open-source app named ‘Taskbar Groups’ that you should not miss out on.
Download Taskbar Groups from GitHub. The app is lightweight and comes around at just 150KB. After downloading the ZIP file, extract the ZIP file using one of the file extractors to access the executable file.
On the page that appears now, you can add an icon for the group you’re about to create. This icon will appear in your taskbar. You can also set the maximum width, ranging from 1 to 20. After setting the group icon, click on ‘Add new shortcut’ and choose the apps that you’re interested to add to the group.
Use Taskbar Shortcuts to Organize Taskbar on Windows 10
Although I liked the idea of the app and the simplicity that comes with it, I must say that the client app is quite barebones right now. For instance, you can’t reorder the apps or modify the list of shortcuts. At this moment, you’ll have to create a new group in case you want to alter the set of apps in the group. For what it’s worth, you can give it a shot to know if this lightweight app fits right in your workflow.
