7+ Taskbar Tweaker is a Windows utility for changing taskbar behavior beyond the options generally available in taskbar properties or the registry. It offers dozens of customization options. Taskbar Inspector lets users group, combine, or label selected taskbar items, and the listed capabilities also include app grouping controls, multi-monitor support, and taskbar sizing. The software is designed for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10; the maker says it does not support the Windows 11 taskbar. It may work on Windows 11 version 23H2 and older when a third-party tool restores the old taskbar. The installer can extract a portable copy to a selected folder. The utility injects a DLL into Explorer and modifies it directly, while the maker says registry changes are limited to its own settings. Antivirus alerts may occur because this behavior can appear suspicious, though the maker notes that detections can be false positives. It costs 0.00 USD per free, may be used commercially, and has no ads or bundled installers. Donations are optional.
