Another MISSING feature in Win 11

Hey Y’all,

I’m an “old school” kinda of guy as you all know. I use OpenShell and StartIsBack+ because I hate the Win 8+ start options.
I also love to create user specific tool bars in the Notification area:

Of course you can’t do this in the brand new shiny improved UI in Windows 11. Or at least I sure haven’t found a way. Good think I’m only playing with it on my test system, looks like they’ll be “prying Win 10 from my quickly typing fingers”!

Oh, I forgot to mention that MS won’t be doing that because of the 4 systems in the house only my Wife’s Dell laptop will support 11 and she would kill me if I let that happen as she hates changes in tech…Registry Patch Duly Applied!

May the Forces of good computing be with you!

Have you downloaded the Start11 tools?

I don’t really use or need toolbars, but I tried one for this post.

I’m running Windows 11 Pro Version 21H2 (OS Build 22000.739).  I’m also running StartAllBack v3.3, which does indeed offer to “Restore and improve taskbar”.

<edit: in setting up the link I noticed that StartAllBack is on v3.43 now, so I downloaded it.>

Always create a fresh drive image before making system changes/Windows updates; you may need to start over!

Unfortunately, neither Naitive Win 11 nor Open-Shell provide that capability AFAICT.

@RetiredGeek, I’ve never run any native Windows version, so I can’t comment on what any of them do without tweaking/modification.  However, I do know that StartAllBack will allow custom toolbars.
