How can i lock the taskbar

Hi. New to Windows 11 - just installed.

I have a few apps that I would like to keep pinned to the taskbar next to the start button. I would like it so that when I click on them or other apps that these pinned apps do not move on the taskbar and that all apps open in a space past these pinned apps. Basically I would like to lock these apps into place. Basic windows 10 type functionality.




Also, is there anyway to set apps in this position like you can in the other windows os'es? I forgot the name of this location on the taskbar or what that kind of setup is called. There is a trick to do it on windows 10 so it is like previous windows os. Thanks.

Added: I think it is called quick launch.

I think I will just keep the apps on the desktop so all good.

I don't know if it can be done using Windows 11 but it can be done using 3rd party software StartAllBack, which has a Taskbar option to move the Start icon to the left and keep taskbar icons 'Together with Start button'.
