Aligning pinned icons to utmost right?

from Stardock Forums

In Windows 10, I created custom menus by pinning folders to the taskbar. It's behavior I use often. That it can't be done out of the box in Win 11, has been the reason I haven't upgraded my main machine yet.

However, I did upgrade my laptop and I've used Start11 to reproduce 99% of that behavior - that it's able to do that, is the main reason I'm considering buying it B)  

Now, the cherry on top would be if I could get even closer to Win 10 behavior - is it possible to align (just) such pinned icons/'menus' to the utmost right of the taskbar?

I've played around with Start11 and I haven't been able to figure it out if that's possible. I tried Google'ing and had no success in finding anything - hence this topic.

Hello,
Unfortunately, there is no option to move those pinned items to the rightmost area before the taskbar tray area.

Thank you,

Start11 does not offer that option, although you are not the first to ask. Your best bet is to create a New folder somewhere on your C: Drive, and then create the folders you want to PIN to the taskbar and place them in this folder. Now, add shortcuts to the items you want in each folder and name them so they appear in the order you want to see, as they will be displayed alphabetically. Make sure to check "Show folders as submenus."

Once you have this set up, PIN the main folder to the taskbar as a Folder Menu and place it next to the Start Button. It should always keep it's place. The one caveat, is that there is only one level of hierarchy. Notice you can set the taskbar icon to a custom icon.

Pinned to Taskbar (below)

Pinned to Start11 menu (below)

If you want multiple levels of hierarchy thru the folders, you can pin the folder(s) to the Start11 menu; right-click and select "Open folder as a menu." However, this will only work with the Windows 10 style.

Thanks for the replies, both of you :-) This does dampen my enthusiasm slightly, but not too much ;-)
