>>5542853Don't apologize to me. We all start somewhere. I happen to have started customizing windows in the XP days though I do think this is covered in the sticky somewhere but whatever.
Right click on your taskbar. Go to toolbars > create new toolbar.
In this window create a new folder and select it. The name and location are irrelevant. You can hide it later.
Unlock the taskbar and drag the toolbar with the name of the folder all the way to the left of your icons like in my image..
After that. Right click the new toolbar and uncheck 'show title' and 'show text'.
Re-lock your taskbar and you should be good to go.
