Expanded running program definition on task bar?

How did they did this: https://ibb.co/FV23n7x Is it a taskbar icon (for the program), or is a toolbar in the taskbar and the program icon is in the toolbar? For toolbars, you can choose to show/hide a text label. When you lock the taskbar, the grid lines for the edges of the toolbars disappear. |

How did they expand that? And where? |

How did they expand that? And where? From your pic, I cannot tell the object pointed at is a program taskbar icon, or a toolbar showing a shortcut with the toolbar configured to show text labels (and with the taskbar locked, so borders are not shown at the edges of toolbars). Unlock the taskbar to see if the object suddenly delineates itself as a toolbar. Does that icon+label disappear when you exit the program? Is it there whether the program is loaded or not? If you right-click on that icon, is there an option to unpin it from the taskbar? |

And yes the label does disappear after the program exits |

And yes the label does disappear after the program exits So, it's a taskbar button for a running program, not a pinned program and not a toolbar (without edge borders with a locked taskbar). Is this the only taskbar button with a label, or do other taskbar buttons have labels? That's a setting in Windows 10 regarding when buttons combine, and when they'll have labels: Right-click on taskbar and select Taskbar Settings. In the wizard, check what you set for "Combine taskbar buttons". Even if there is only 1 taskbar button for a program (you don't have multiple instances of the program currently loaded, just one), the "Always, hide labels" just shows icons for program taskbar buttons. Combine taskbar buttons - Always, hide labels: Just show icons for taskbar buttons (no labels). - When taskbar is full: Labels are shown until there are too many buttons to show all at once. - Never: The taskbar buttons will have labels. There is nor will there be any combining of taskbar buttons. Maybe you selected "When taskbar is full", so some buttons got squashed to no longer show labels while other buttons are still wide enough to show labels. |

It was on "When Task Bar is Full". I had seen it before, but I did not know what it meant. Thank you! |
