Windows 7 and 10 Taskbar offers many features, including the ability to add a toolbar to anything you want. Your Taskbar can become cluttered, and removing items can be time-consuming. Using our batch file, you can reset your Taskbar toolbar and start fresh in one click.

All the batch file does is delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop /F from the registry, then restarts the Explorer process.

Download Reset Taskbar Toolbars in Windows 7 and 10 and extract Reset Taskbar Toolbars.bat.

Right-click on Reset Taskbar Toolbars.bat and click on Run as administrator.

A command prompt window will briefly appear, followed by a screen flash.

Your Taskbar toolbars will all be gone afterward.

The entire process should only take seconds to complete as compared to doing it manually.

This tweak is included as part of MajorGeeks Windows Tweaks.
