I wanted to hide the QuickLaunch area in Windows 11 taskbar because I didn't want to show it in a meeting where I am sharing my desktop. So I right-click in an empty area in the taskbar, select Toolbars, and uncheck 'Quick Launch'. When I wanted to unhide it, I tried to reverse the action and check it. 'Quick Launch' was gone, so I had to recreate it. To my disappointment, all the shortcuts, the icons, were in different positions. Not in the places where I expect them to be. I have over 30 shortcuts.
Is there a way I can hide/unhide the Quick Launch area in the taskbar easily and maintain the current icons positions?
