the bottom toolbar of my laptop. It has worked really well to collect
my most
often used application icons at the bottom with a 1-click launch
function.
Now Microsoft has removed support for extra toolbars and I have tried
to use the
opensource ExplorerPatcher (find it on Github) to return the
QuickLaunch
toolbar, but apparently in a recent Windows build this has been
blocked. :-(

I cannot contribute to the part of your question directly related to
FPC, but I'd suggest using an older version of ExplorerPatcher
(22621.3527.65.1) and disable updates, that works even with the latest
Win11 builds - at least it works for me. :-) Note that any potential
further discussion about this part should go to fpc-other, because this
is not related to FPC.
