As the use of Windows 7 increased, it was gradually found that there was a very problematic problem, and the taskbar space was getting smaller and smaller. Because I got used to the lock icon function of the Windows 7 taskbar, I accidentally put various program icons on the taskbar. Although we can use the small icon on the taskbar to alleviate the space problem, the actual effect is not satisfactory, only about 20% of the space can be saved. Changing the display to increase the resolution? This can be extra cost, which is obviously not suitable. So, is there no other effective way to increase the taskbar space?
No, after unremitting efforts, finally found a Win7 taskbar enhancement tool on the Internet, which can double the task without changing the current hardware and settings. The bar has space available. The software, called Bins, is still in the public beta phase, which groups multiple icons on the taskbar to free up more space, as shown below.
This software is very simple. After downloading and running the installation, it will run automatically after completion. A prompt will pop up at the top of the taskbar. Click on “Next” to see how to use it. I can't use it.
As long as you have seen the software's own operation demo, you will find that Bins is very easy to use. Drag an icon onto another icon, and an extra small window will pop up, then move it up and finish it. It is.
At this time, the program icon will be displayed in a tiled manner, and up to 4 icons will be displayed on the taskbar (the first 4 are displayed in order from left to right, and the display icon can be changed by swapping the position). However, the number of icons that can be stored in each group is not affected. The icons that are running after grouping are displayed in the front section, and all program windows are merged together when previewed.
I want to separate the icon from the group by dragging and dropping the target to the blank position of the taskbar to release the mouse.
With such a small software, you can immediately increase the available space of your taskbar. Even if you put only four icons in each group, you can reduce the number of icons to a quarter, and free up space. You can continue to put more icons (if you have so much to put). In addition to the basic grouping function, Bins has some interesting things. Here is a brief introduction to some
1. First, each group will have a group leader, such as the browser group above, which will be other icons. Drag to the group formed on the IE icon, then IE is the leader, click on the entire group to run the "group leader" program.
Secondly, the leader himself cannot be separated from the group, and the team members can move at will. But we can change the leader to achieve the purpose of separating IE, right-click on other icons and select "Make primary icon of Bin" to change the leader.
It should be noted that this operation is essentially a process of dissolving the entire group and then re-based another icon, during which a prompt box asks us to determine, and then we will see the reorganization of these icons.
2, the software runtime will reside in the notification area of the system tray, double-click its icon to make some settings, these three items will be more useful to us.
Same group program/window loop switch
Checking this item allows us to run when the group icon has multiple programs (or when a single browser opens 2 or more tabs) Click the group icon to cycle through these windows/tabs directly.
Disabling Bins and restoring the taskbar as it is.
You need to first click on the “Extras” button at the top of the main interface, the largest button below, click on it to close the grouping function of Bins and restore all icons to the taskbar. . At the same time, the button text will become "Undo"; click again to restore the previous grouping.
Lock files/folders to the taskbar
Also under Extras, there is an option to "Enable pinning fils/folders onto the taskbar", which allows you to lock files or folders as well. Go to the taskbar. This way we can put some common folders on the taskbar, and then merge them into groups for us to use.
How is this software great? If you start worrying about more and more icons on the taskbar, try this stuff.
