Windows 10 Taskbar Separators

steps.md

1. Make a folder for them (they need to be kept at the same location once they are created).
2. Place the ICO file you wish to use below into the folder.
3. Right click-hold and drag and drop next to the .ICO to make a shortcut. Rename it something like sep.lnk.
4. Right click the shortcut -> Properties -> Shortcut tab. Change the target field to: pwsh -1. Change the Run field to "Minimised".
5. Make multiple copies of the shortcut as you cannot use the same shortcut multiple times in a taskbar.
6. For each of the duplicate shortcuts, change the -1 in the Target field to something else, e.g. -2, then next shortcut -3, and so on.
7. Drag and drop the shortcuts into your taskbar to pin them. Drag them where you want.

Bonus: Use 7+ Taskbar Tweaker as it has an option for Pinned Items called "Remove extra gap between items". This is very handy to make the effect better.
