For clarification, you can still reorder the icons you have pinned to the taskbar by dragging in Windows 11. And you can pin additional items from the Start Menu to the taskbar by right-clicking the app in the Start Menu, selecting More, and then Pin to taskbar. You can add items to the Start Menu by creating a shortcut within the "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu" directory. Items added to the start menu like this can then be pinned to the taskbar using the method already mentioned. Source: I just did all of this in the current Windows 11 Insider release as part of testing an upcoming PortableApps.com Platform release. So, you can still pin just about anything to the taskbar, it's just a more convoluted way of doing it than dragging. And, I'd wager, we'll have third party utilities that will automate the above for folks who like to pin random items regularly. Heck, I may do it myself and stick it on github if people would like.
