To create even more virtual desktops, click the Task View icon. From the screen that appears, click the plus sign (shown in the margin) in the center of the miniature desktop.
Keyboard lovers can add a desktop by holding the Windows key and then pressing Ctrl+D. Your current desktop immediately disappears, replaced by a new, empty desktop. (Pressing + Tab opens the Task View mode, letting you see all your open windows, as well as any virtual desktops.)
To move an open window from one virtual desktop to another, click the Task View icon to see the thumbnails of your open virtual desktops. Then drag the desired window down to the desired desktop thumbnail along the screen’s bottom edge. (Right-clicking a desired window fetches a pop-up menu that lists all your virtual desktop options.)
Keen-eyed upgraders from Windows 10 will notice the lack of a sliding bar along the screen’s right edge in Figures 3-11 and 3-12. Windows 10 let you slide that bar up or down to revisit apps and websites you opened in the last 30 days. Known as Timeline, the feature is no longer included in Windows 11.
Making Programs Easier to Find
Whenever you install a new program on your computer, the program usually asks way too many obtuse questions. But perk up your ears when you see this question: “Would you like a shortcut icon placed on your desktop or taskbar?”
Say yes, please, as that will save you from dashing out to the Start menu to find the program’s icon.
But if your favorite programs don’t yet have icons on the desktop or taskbar, put them there by following these steps:
1 Head to the Start menu, and click the All Apps button in the upper-right corner. As you scroll up or down, an alphabetical list of icons for all your apps and programs scrolls up or down as well.
2 Right-click the name of any program or app you want to appear on the taskbar, choose More from the pop-up menu, and choose Pin To Taskbar from the second pop-up menu.If you’re using a touchscreen, hold down your finger on the desired app icon for a second or two. Then lift your finger, tap the word More, and tap the Pin To Taskbar option on the pop-up menu.
Now, instead of heading to the Start menu, you can launch your oft-used apps with a click on their taskbar icon.
After you’ve stocked your taskbar with icons, pretend they’re numbered, from left to right. (Skip the Start, Search, Widgets, and Task View icons, which don’t count.) Pressing
Don’t care for the Search, Widgets, or Task View icons? Windows 11 won’t let you move them, but you can hide them: Right-click the unwanted icon and choose Hide From Taskbar from the pop-up menu.
