Manage icons pinned in the taskbar with the following features:

  • Group pinned icons in order to switch them as wish
  • Allow to change icons on Windows 10 May 2019 Update light theme
  • Allow to change pinned icons ICO files with any other
  • Support pinned tiles as well
  • Maybe add support for UWP pinned apps

Finally I could create a procedure to pin/unpin icons to the taskbar

but it won't support UWP apps, only regular ones.

Another feature working, but as the planned ones, requires more work, is to change pinned icons with custom ones.

Next step: Create groups of pinned icons, so it can be pinned removing the current pinned ones with one click (maybe in sub menu in popup contextual menu).

It might also be nice to assign to another Virtual Desktop and automatically applied on desktop switch, but currently Windows 10 has undocumented methods to detect switching virtual desktops, which changes upon new version releases. But it would be great to have a different virtual desktop for let's say, programming, editing documents, video editing, etc. and automatically switch the pinned icons on taskbar according to where the user is.

I'm testing detection of Virtual Desktops and if possible, pinned icons may change on change to another desktop, wallpaper included if desired.

Sadly since Windows 10 1803 and newer pinning programmatically is harder, workarounds to do it programmatically is now almost impossible (as of known injecting methods)
