What is the location of the Taskbar shortcuts for Windows 10? I am looking specifically for only the icons in the dropdown box accessed by going to "Taskbar Settings" "Select Which Icons Appear On The Taskbar" page. My icons are all screwy and I need to debug this situation.



I have already checked "AppDataRoamingMicrosoftInternet ExplorerQuick LaunchUser PinnedTaskbar" and they are not there.

          These are not static shortcuts. They are applications that are running on the computer. There is not a folder that contains the items found here.



          Windows gives you some control over which system app icons will show here:



          Right-click on your Taskbar and select Taskbar Settings.



          Scroll down to Notification Area and click Select which icons appear on the taskbar or Turn system icons on or off and make your selections there.

            I believe that Run5K was asking about "taskbar" shortcuts, not "systray" icons which, as you said are not shortcuts, rather elements that can be disabled/enabled from the location you specified.



            The location of the taskbar icons is the same in Windows 10 as it is in Windows 7 (and I would presume is the same for Windows 8/8.1 as well, though I haven't tested):

            Yep, I found what appears to be my taskbar shortcuts here: %AppData%RoamingMicrosoftInternet ExplorerQuick LaunchUser PinnedTaskBar



            Although editing these values does not appear to impact my taskbar - yet. Maybe after reboot.
