Synchronize taskbar icon order

[burhan]

There should be a way to enable/disable as part of my profile synchronization of the taskbar settings. I have this issue because I use multiple machines, and my winkey+number shortcuts don't always work properly; because the taskbar shortcuts aren't in the same order on both my machines.

If it could only sync the first 10 that would also work, but if it can sync entire taskbar configuration (placement, size, etc) that would be great. I realize that this would mean that the applications installed have to be synchronized as well and there is no real way to do that - but perhaps an option to enable / disable a specific icon; for example "pin to task bar" could mean "pin and sync" or "pin only to this machine" etc.

Not really sure how it could be done or even if its possible.

Stay safe!

good idea. You directly call out my primary quesiton, what about the scenario where you don't have the same apps on the different computer? then the numbers fundamentally be different.

I think an option should be there per icon to "pin and sync"; and the user can decide. This way we defer to the user the burden of ensuring the app is there on the machines.

The other option could be to show a grayed-out/dimmed icon, and when clicked can take you to a default action which could be a simple app that acts like a stub. It could display a warning/notice or - take you to a search of the Windows Store.

This option is there for python.exe which is a stub that just launches the Windows Store.

great questions / behaviors. like the idea of stubbing.
