Poor Man (Vertical) Taskbar for Windows 11

Quick solution for those who needs vertical taskbar for Windows 11. I hope Microsoft adds native solution but for now - use this one.

It can only open .lnk links for now

Add a link to your desktop, then drag-drop it into PMT window. It will be saved so next time you get the same position, size and set of links.

Right click on a link to unpin it.

Use your favourite method to run this on logon - Startup Menu, Task Scheduler, registry..

Close this by right-click on the actual Windows 11 taksbar and "Close all windows"

Note: it is a quick solution, has not been tested with different monitors / DPI settings.

In v 1.1 you can manipulate windows opened from the pinned links. Hover mouse over a link and you would see all processes spawned from it. Click on a process brings the windows to front, click on X button closes it.

In v 1.1.2 it mimics the Windows taskbar by displaying windows thumbnails and title on mouse hover over. You can chose to display time with or without seconds (click on the time), to display date and weekday or just weekday (click on the date)
