Set taskbar buttons to always combine and hide labels AGAIN #180

Closed d-wendel closed 5 years ago

d-wendel commented 5 years ago

Win10 1809, Taskbar combine settings seem to not work. Any change I make results in "display all taskbar icons". Does any other setting affect this one?

Are you referring to SetTaskbarCombineWhenFull / SetTaskbarCombineNever / SetTaskbarCombineAlways ? Because I've just tried them on 1809, build 17763.107 and they all work as expected. There wasn't a change in these since Windows 7. Can you please describe step by step what are you doing?

Using # Version: v3.3, 2018-10-22 line 97 of the preset file is as follows: SetTaskbarCombineAlways # SetTaskbarCombineWhenFull # SetTaskbarCombineNever

Win10 64bit, 1809 (17763.134) Joined to work domain. Admin user logs into machine, Default.cmd is then run as administrator. All right side taskbar icons now show despite preset being set for combine always

There is no GPO in place for anything user interface related. Neither of the following keys are present: HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" -Name "TaskbarGlomLevel" HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" -Name "MMTaskbarGlomLevel"

I suspect that there might be a confusion of terms. "right side taskbar icons" doesn't make sense - do you have in mind the icons next to the clock (volume, network etc.)? If so, then we're talking about systray or notification area in which case you want to apply HideTrayIcons tweak.

I can't believe I missed something so darn simple, you are correct. Combine icons when taskbar is full from running programs. (usually starting from the left side) Notification area icons all showing is what I was referring too. It's fixed. Great and helpful responses though! Keep up the excellent work.
