Had this exact experience and had to google a solution.. Why they didn’t use the same control element for an item found with the search versus in the start menu

Had this exact experience and had to google a solution.. Why they didn’t use the same control element for an item found with the search versus in the start menu is mind boggling.
- Causality1 6y agoThe same attitude extends everywhere else in the operating system. In any other version of Windows if you drag a folder onto the taskbar you get a labeled icon that opens that folder when you click it. In Windows 10 it just adds to the list of possible folders when you open the file manager shortcut. You can create a shortcut to a folder by adding an Explorer argument to a folder shortcut but it still won't have a label when you put it on the taskbar.
- ziml77 6y agoI'm not sure what you mean about the behavior of dragging a folder onto the taskbar. If I do that on Windows 7, it adds the folder to Explorer's jumplist.
- Causality1 6y agoIn Windows 7 it's called the Favorites toolbar. You add it to the taskbar and create a section you can put folder links in, with or without labels. Windows 10's version is called Links and it's utterly crippled in comparison. You can't put it on the left side of your other taskbar shortcuts and you can't remove the massive "Links" label that wastes space and does nothing.
