Windows – the location of the Taskbar shortcuts for Windows 10

taskbarwindows 10

What is the location of the Taskbar shortcuts for Windows 10? I am looking specifically for only the icons in the dropdown box accessed by going to "Taskbar Settings" "Select Which Icons Appear On The Taskbar" page. My icons are all screwy and I need to debug this situation.

I have already checked "AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\Taskbar" and they are not there.

I believe that Run5K was asking about "taskbar" shortcuts, not "systray" icons which, as you said are not shortcuts, rather elements that can be disabled/enabled from the location you specified.

The location of the taskbar icons is the same in Windows 10 as it is in Windows 7 (and I would presume is the same for Windows 8/8.1 as well, though I haven't tested):

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar
