Starting in safe mode and closing out and reopening worked! Thanks.

    I agree. I only do them when I have to. My menu structure is different. I don't have that sub menu.

    How did you determine it was that menu? I am interested in that process for future issues.

    I'm a MSFT employee and ABSOLUTELY use the product but.... I'm not in product development. To your point, it's baffles me how such smart, creative people let things like this happen. My productivity is directly impacted by this lost basic feature - honestly. Instead of scanning my taskbar for my active tasks (e.g., in process emails, in process Excel files, etc.) I have to do several mouse moves and clicks. How could they think NOT keeping that immediate visual access makes any sense?

    Thanks for the reply. It's good to know that MS employees use it, but I really meant the developers...I feel developers don't use it. They spend too much time in testing environments and don't use the live product maybe. Either way, for me this change is all about the loss of WIDTH. Horizontal screen real estate is everything! When I lose it, I take it personal. It was previously located where it was easy to get to and didn't take up any space. Now, even at only 1/2" (15 cm) width, I hate it. At least all the empty space down the side now matches all the empty space across the top! /sarcasm.

    Now that it's being forced on us (all of us), I'm guessing it's so they can now add new items and we'll see them. Whether that's to help us or to advertise to us is anyone's guess, but if these buttons are along the left, new ones added will be SEEN, and I'm sure that's their main motive.
