Lock the taskbar icons in order?

Has MS deigned to give us back the ability to permanently arrange the icons in the taskbar? As my tremor has gotten worse, I find I’m reordering the icons up to 10 times a day.

Use a third-party program called 7+ Taskbar Tweaker from here:

Once installed and running, you can r/click its icon in the Taskbar Notification Area (Show hidden items) > Advanced Options > Look for disable_items_drag and change its data value to One > OK.
The icons now will be locked in position.

Thank you. I will give that a try. I wonder why MS figures this is totally unimportant?!

Yes!! I have wanted to be be able to do that since the day I installed Win10 and found out they had removed that feature. Now all that happens if I accidentally drag a taskbar icon is that the associated program opens. That’s a lot less annoying that having to figure out where my errant fingers moved the icon.
