Task Bar icons now shows file name and application name

[MartinHugh]

Is there a way to configure the task bar so that only icons are displayed.
Having application name / filename is unnecessary and moves the position of the icons around

Thanks

here's a guide on customizing the windows 11 taskbar: https://www.anoopcnair.com/customize-windows-11-taskbar-best-method-option/

in the EP properties application, check the options in taskbar.

Thank you for the reply. I am not sure you understood the question.
I am unable to find any configuration to prevent the stated problem.
Could you be more specific

Thank you

How you accomplish that depends on which taskbar you are using - Windows 11 or windows 10.

If you are using the Windows 11 taskbar, right click on the taskbar and choose Taskbar settings, Expand Taskbar behavior, and set Combine taskbar buttons and hide labels to Always. Then open the ExplorerPatcher Properties app and click on Restart File Explorer in the lower left corner.

If you are using the Windows 10 taskbar, open the ExplorePatcher Properties app, in the Taskbar tab, set Combine taskbar icons on primary taskbar to Always Combine. If you have a secondary taskbar, do the same for it.

Thank you that now works fine.
