Summary

One of the most convenient features of Microsoft Word is the ability to customize the tools that you work with. This article describes how you can customize and create toolbars and toolbar buttons. You can customize any toolbar by adding, deleting, moving, or grouping toolbar buttons to suit your needs.

Microsoft Word includes several built-in toolbars, including the two default toolbars that are visible when you start Word: the Standard toolbar and the Formatting toolbar. The Standard toolbar includes command buttons with which you can quickly access many of the frequently used commands, such as Save, Open, Copy, and Paste. The Formatting toolbar provides quick access to text-formatting commands, including Bold, Italic, Underline, Numbering, and Bullets.

To see a list of available toolbars, point to Toolbars on the View menu. The available toolbars appear on the Toolbars submenu. The toolbars that are currently visible in the Word window are selected (check marks appear next to them). To view and use a toolbar, you must select it on the Toolbars submenu. To select it (make it visible on the Word screen), click the toolbar name.

Note Creating and customizing menus in Word is similar to the way that you create and customize your toolbars.

The taskbar is the classic user interface element in Windows. First introduced in Windows 95, it exists in all Windows versions released after it. The main idea behind the taskbar is to provide a useful tool which shows a list of running apps and open windows as tasks so you can switch quickly between them. The user can lock the taskbar to prevent its accidental moving or modification. Here is how to lock or unlock the taskbar in Windows 10.

If you have multiple displays connected to your computer, Windows 10 will show the taskbar on each display. The taskbar may contain the Start menu button, the search box or Cortana, the task view button, the system tray and various toolbars created by the user or third-party apps. For example, you can add the good old Quick Launch toolbar to your taskbar.

In order to re-arrange the taskbar items, you need to unlock it. Locking the taskbar will prevent the user from moving or resizing it. The unlocked taskbar can be moved to a different edge of the screen or resized.

  3. To unlock the taskbar, right-click on it and select the checked Lock the taskbar item. The check mark will disappear.

You are done.

Alternatively, the Settings app can be used to lock or unlock the taskbar in Windows 10.

  2. Navigate to Personalization - Taskbar.
  3. On the right, enable the Lock the taskbar toggle option to lock the taskbar.
  4. Disabling this option will unlock the taskbar.

Finally, you can apply a Registry tweak if you need to change the option remotely or from a script. Here is how it can be done.

Lock or Unlock the taskbar with a Registry tweak

  1. Open the Registry Editor app.
  2. Go to the following Registry key.

    See how to go to a Registry key with one click.

  3. On the right, create a new 32-Bit DWORD value TaskbarSizeMove.
    Note: Even if you are running 64-bit Windows you must still create a 32-bit DWORD value.
    Set its value to 1 to unlock the taskbar.
  4. A value data of 0 will lock the taskbar.
  5. To make the changes done by the Registry tweak take effect, you need to sign out and sign in to your user account. Alternatively, you can restart the Explorer shell.

That's it.
