If only there were a power toy to make it so that I can drag a file onto an app on the Win11 task bar to open it with that app, then I could actually switch to Win11. Until then, Power Toys makes every day with Win10 a little bit better.

The ‘proxy’ part on MacOS (which I think was a thing way back to System 9, 8 and maybe even 7) is something I have always missed in the Windows world. Also being able toneart a path in to an open/save dialog to get the path there is a thing I miss!

Are you sure you can't do that? I remember putting an URL there and being surprised that it actually downloads and opens it.

Before that update the feature was not implemented, because Windows 11 uses the taskbar written for Windows 10x
