About Taskbar Tweaker
Taskbar Tweaker is a customization tool for the Windows taskbar. It provides dozens of options for adjusting taskbar behavior, and the homepage describes it as maintained and polished for more than 10 years. Its Taskbar Inspector lets users apply per-application tweaks and choose which taskbar items to group, combine, or label. The tool is listed as free, with optional donations.
The tool works by injecting code into Explorer, the Windows shell process, and manipulating it directly, according to the FAQ. Antivirus programs sometimes flag it as malicious, and the developer states this is a false positive that is especially common when a new version is released. Users can install a portable version by selecting the Portable install type, which extracts the program to a chosen folder.
