Could you add the “Remember the order of taskbar buttons” option?
The “Don’t group” option is very useful. I often manually order Taskbar buttons to facilitate switching windows. And I also use Windows virtual desktops for different types of work.
When I switched virtual desktops, I find that the order I had set manually changed back to the original order by opening time.
So I thought it would be possible to add an option to remember the order?
The virtual_desktop_order_fix advanced option of 7+ Taskbar Tweaker can help with this. See this blog post, and refer to the tweaker’s help file for more details.
I’m not sure why you’re using the old link (rammichael.com), but it should still work. It works for me. The link will break after the next update though, I suggest downloading the tweaker from the official website.
As of why the link doesn’t work for you, I’m not sure, perhaps your browser or internet provider blocks it for some reason.
Hi Sean,
Windows 11 is not supported, and I’m not sure whether support will ever be added. The taskbar in Windows 11 was completely rewritten, see this blog post for details.
Thanks for this great tool. Is there a way to keep the current taskbar File Explorer items in the current order the next time I logon? Now, I have to reorder the items after each logon. I saw a solution saying to use virtual_desktop_order_fix but that doesn’t work for me.
No, there’s no way to do that. It’s tricky, since the next time you login, new windows are created as far as the taskbar is concerned, even if they look similar to the windows you had before you logged out. A tool can try to match properties such as window titles, but the titles can change or there can be several windows with the same title.
The virtual_desktop_order_fix advanced option does something different – it helps keep the order of taskbar buttons when you switch between virtual desktops.
Can your software fix the taskbar unhide issues when running maximized windows programs?
Basically, for some lucky people like myself, the taskbar will simply not unhide if there is any maximized programs running. For me, it’s specifically the primary monitor, the auto-hide unhide taskbar works fine in my other 2 monitors.
Running latest version of Windows 10 as of March 22 2022.
Hi Nick,
I have no solution for this unfortunately. If you’re using 7+ Taskbar Tweaker, you might want to make sure that the disable_topmost advanced option is not enabled. That’s my only guess of what, of all of my tools, can cause the problem.
I eventually figured out that hidden applications that take the full display screen (like the GeForce Experience’s FPS Overlay and the Windows Snipping Tool) make the auto hide taskbar stay behind all of the opened maximized windows, that way it does not appear when you put the cursor on it. It’s a bug / glitch.
When the auto-hide taskbar is hidden and you see that thin taskbar line over open maximized windows, you know that it is working correctly. When the thin line is gone, that means there is an issue happening that is putting the taskbar behind all opened maximized windows.
The solution to my case was to disable the FPS Overlay from NVIDIA GeForce Experience and, in the case of the Windows Snipping Tool, to reposition (refresh) the taskbar a couple times after using it, then it goes back to normal.
I hope more people can find this solution and that it helps them. 🙂
thank you for this wonderful program!! i’ll be sure to let my friends who are still on Windows 10 know about this! What quality of life improvements!! THANK YOU!
What do you mean by “Taskbar shortcuts”?
If you’re referring to 7+ Taskbar Tweaker’s settings, you can find them in the registry here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7 Taskbar Tweaker
Hi,
I have Windows 11.
I was able to restore the Windows 10 taskbar and installed the 7+ tweaker for no grouping icons, however I am not able to get rid of the labels.
There is no option anymore to do “Always combine, Hide labels” like before.
I searched all over the web with no solution.
Can you please add this as feature for the next version / update?

Thanks for the great tool! I use it to minimize the size of taskbar which I keep on the left side. I adjusted the format of the short date and time in Windows settings to 4/5/17 format for the date, and 9:40 AM format for the time. These are the shortest display settings for the date and time, which allows them to be displayed even when the task bar is narrow. Do you know of any way that I could remove the year entirely from the date, and remove the AM/PM entirely from the time so that I could minimize the taskbar even further? This would probably involve a registry change.
Thank you !
Thank you for 7+ Taskbar Tweaker, it’s very usefull !
Ungroup apps.
Reserve empty space on taskbar for right click ! Very cool.
And display seconds on the tray dock 🙂

Hi,
The download doesn’t work from your website. I get a timeout from the server.
This is the URL I tried, from two different computers:

It works from https://www.majorgeeks.com/ though.

7+ Taskbar Tweaker has an Arabic translation. Textify too.

How can I backup all Taskbar shortcuts and the order in which they appear into a backup file?
And restore them later?
What do you mean by “Taskbar shortcuts”?
If you’re referring to 7+ Taskbar Tweaker’s settings, you can find them in the registry here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7 Taskbar TweakerWell I did NOT mean 7+ Taskbar settings but all the icon/Thumbnails in Taskbar.
They can be seen as shortcuts to programs on partition.
How can I backup them?
I don’t know, sorry.
