A small C++ Windows utility that restores drag-and-drop-to-taskbar functionality missing in early Windows 11 builds by simulating Win+T and arrow-key navigation. It runs as a portable background process without modifying system files, registry keys, or injecting DLLs.
Use cases
- restore drag and drop to taskbar on Windows 11
- drop files onto taskbar icons to open them in apps
- drop files onto the Show Desktop button
- make Windows 11 taskbar behave like Windows 10 for dragging
- run a portable fix without changing system files or registry
When to choose
- you run an older Windows 11 build (pre-22H2) without native drag-and-drop to taskbar
- you want a portable, non-invasive solution with no DLL injection or registry changes
- you need multi-monitor and autostart support for the workaround
When to avoid
- you are on Windows 11 22H2 or newer, which restores this functionality natively
- you need a maintained tool with active development
- you are not on Windows
