In taskbar settings you can set the icons to be left aligned instead of centered if you'd like

Yes, but you might not know that if you're new to Windows 11 😊

In the insider builds we're currently working on an option to open folders in a new tab by default (like if you were to open the downloads folder from the browser, where currently it would open in a new window), which I'm looking forward to rolling out to more folks

Something you might not know if you're new to Windows 11 is that File Explorer now supports tabs!

You can use CTRL + Tab to switch between them (just like on the browser)
A file explorer window with two tabs (wallpapers and cat pictures). A yellow double ended arrow points between the two tabs. Focus is set to the cat pictures folder, which, as promised, is full of a variety of pictures of my cats (including Basil dressed up like a frog and peeking out of a bag, and Nutmeg sitting in his shark ball, and Dusty looking at a cat made out of cat hair, and me hugging my cat Ali)

He seems like he's having a better day again today at least. Just trying to do what I can for him

I mean, personally I'd vote yes, but I suspect you'd consider my opinion biased :)

A murder! In broad daylight 😱
A bunch of crows hanging out on a street light (otherwise known as a murder)

Cartoon of a man threatening another man with a knife. The other man backs away with his hands raised. Captioned "The things I need to get done" (the threatening man) and "just trying to relax on the weekend" (the one backing up)

Unfortunately the overall prognosis isn't good, so we already know the treatment is just to try and give him more time. After this comment yesterday, he hardly moved at all again 😞. I'm hoping that he was just tired and today will be a better day

We're taking it day by day with Nutmeg - the treatment does seem to have helped and he's actually wandering around now on his own, and has put back on a small amount of weight 🤞

Just look at this goofball
My cat Basil staring up at the camera from where he lies belly up on the bed, slightly starting to fall off. His eyes are huge like anime character and he wants to play
