For anyone who would like to have an Applications window on their Taskbar...

This creates a desktop shortcut (icon).  You click on it, remove the Nav tree, select what View wanted, Sort how wanted and MINIMIZE.  It will, now, sit on the Taskbar.  Always just minimize, do not close.  It is the equivalent of ALL Apps screen (WinQ).  It allows one to access everything, not just what may be on the Start scree (Tiles) but, all applications in a traditional window type display, unlike the ALL Apps screen display AND makes everything accessible from Desktop w/out ever having to change screens.

It only has to be redone from the desktop icon if & when one boots or reboots.

You Rt Clk on Desktop > New > Shortcut.  Put in the line below.  Name it "Applications" and voila.

%windir%\explorer.exe
shell:::{4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1}

I may have mentioned this somewhere before but, you, also, may like to try using it, too.

Cheers,
Drew
