• If you want to change the location of the folder on the taskbar, you do so by selecting it with a simple click and dragging it to where you want to place it. Just make sure the Lock Taskbaroption isn’t enabled.

The good thing about this method is that it can also be useful as a container for well-identified personal files .

In case you want to remove the name from the taskbar, you just need to right-click on a free space in the taskbar and click on Toolbar and then click on the folder name. The name immediately disappears from the bar.
