Objectifs :

This video aims to guide users on how to customize the Windows taskbar by pinning and unpinning applications, adjusting taskbar settings, and organizing the interface to enhance productivity.

Chapitres :

  1. Introduction to the Taskbar
    The taskbar is a central feature of the Windows operating system, serving as a personal toolbox for users. Its recent adjustment to a centered position on the screen is designed to improve accessibility and organization.
  2. Pinning Applications to the Taskbar
    To enhance your workflow, you can pin frequently used applications to the taskbar for quick access. For example, to pin Outlook: - Launch the Start menu. - Search for 'Outlook'. - Right-click on the application. - Select 'Pin to taskbar'. Once pinned, Outlook will appear at the bottom of your screen. You can repeat this process for other applications, such as the Snipping Tool and File Explorer, by right-clicking and selecting 'Pin to taskbar'.
  3. Unpinning Applications
    If you wish to remove an application from the taskbar, you can do so easily: - Right-click on the application icon on the taskbar. - Select 'Unpin from taskbar'. This allows you to keep your taskbar organized and free of clutter.
  4. Adjusting Taskbar Settings
    If the centered taskbar layout is not to your liking, you can revert to a more traditional layout: - Right-click on the taskbar. - Choose 'Taskbar settings'. - Navigate to the 'Taskbar behavior' section. - Change the alignment from 'Center' to 'Left'. This adjustment can help create a familiar interface similar to previous Windows versions.
  5. Managing Default Pinned Applications
    Some applications are pinned to the taskbar by default. Unlike in Windows 10, you have the flexibility to unpin these applications as needed. However, the right-click method may not work for unpinning default apps. Instead, you can manage these through the taskbar settings.
  6. Using the Search Functionality
    The taskbar also features a search function that allows you to find elements across your entire computer. This is particularly useful for quickly locating files or applications.
  7. Viewing Open Windows
    The 'Desk view' feature enables you to see all currently open windows, providing a comprehensive overview of your workspace. Additionally, the 'Jets' panel groups suggested articles based on your preferences, while the 'Conversation' feature offers a simplified version of Microsoft Teams.
  8. Conclusion
    In summary, customizing your taskbar can significantly enhance your productivity. By pinning only the applications you use most frequently, you can maintain a practical and efficient workspace tailored to your habits.
