how to make Win8 become two of the taskbar

Starting Windows 7, Windows software will be able to be attached to the taskbar. This improvement is great, it simplifies the operation of launching common applications and saves us time.

But the space of the new generation of taskbars is limited, and you can't freely adjust the width of the taskbar as you used to, and you can't increase the space. So there is no way to add the commonly used and some occasionally used software. Go to the taskbar. As a result, less common application icons are often found on the desktop.

If you want your desktop to be clean and tidy, you can learn a few tips from LifeHacker.

1. Expand the space of the taskbar by the function of “Create Toolbar”

This way you don’t need third-party software, just create a folder of different categories and put the software icon in the brain. Throw it in, then: right click on the taskbar –> select “toolbar” –> click “new toolbar” –> select the folder just filled with icons, on the final taskbar Different categories of app icons will appear.

The effect is shown below:

Here's a little trick: After creating a new toolbar, remember to right click on it, cancel “show title” and “display text ”, otherwise the app icon will not be displayed directly.

2. Download Bins and let the taskbar display the "Stack" of different applications or documents.

I use the taskbar under Mac OS X, I can not only add software. Icons, you can also add documents, pictures, folders and more. Bins adds more designs on the Mac OS X to the taskbar.

After Bins is installed, after the two different icons are overlapped on the taskbar, a “bin”; bin”—— space for icons is automatically created. When you click on a bin with your mouse, it expands automatically, showing the applications it contains.

Bins also thoughtfully provides the "lock" function, so that others can't change the application icons and order placed in the bin because of strong curiosity.
