A new Windows 10 utility called TaskbarGroups lets you group shortcuts on the taskbar so they can be launched easily without taking up too much space.
Once you pin a group to the taskbar, you can click on the pinned group to open a small overlay containing all the grouped programs. You can then click on the program you want to launch it.
TaskbarGroups was developed by Jack Schierbeck, who released the source code on Github and an executable version that you can download if you don't want to compile the program yourself.
Upon launch, the program will display all existing taskbar groups and allow you to create new ones, as shown below.
When adding a new group, you will need to give it a title, an icon that will represent the group on the Windows 10 taskbar, and select the various executables and shortcuts you want to add to the group.
Once the group is saved, you can right-click on it to open the Shortcuts folder. Then, you will right-click on the desired TaskbarGroups shortcut and pin it to the task manager, as shown below.
Any pinned taskbar groups will appear on the taskbar using the icon you chose when you created it. You can then click that icon to open the group, as shown below with the taskbar toolbar group.
To try this program out, you can download it from the project's Github page . If you're worried that malicious code is hidden in the pre-built versions, you can always compile it using Microsoft 's free Visual Studio compiler .
