Improve Terminal icon on Taskbar right-click option
For the Win11 22H2 update, I've customized my taskbar by adding the Terminal app for easy access.
Previously, I had Ubuntu set up using WSL, but decided to remove it recently.
Despite uninstalling Ubuntu, when I right-click on the Terminal icon, the option for Ubuntu still appears along with other choices like Windows PowerShell and Command Prompt.
I'm looking to clean up this menu by removing the Ubuntu option. I attempted to remove the Terminal icon from the taskbar and re-add it, but Ubuntu remains listed in the menu.
- 1.Add Custom Profiles
Action: Directly access various terminal profiles (e.g., PowerShell, Command Prompt, Ubuntu, etc.) from the right-click menu.
Benefit: Quickly switch between different environments without navigating through the application UI.
2. New Tab/Window Options
Action: Provide options to open a new tab or a new window directly from the context menu.
Benefit: Streamlines multi-tasking and enhances workflow for users who need multiple terminals.
3. Clear History/Cache
Action: Include an option to clear the terminal history or cache directly.
Benefit: Helps maintain privacy and declutter the workspace.
4. Pin Frequently Used Commands
Action: Allow users to pin frequently used commands to the context menu.
Benefit: Fast access to common tasks, improving efficiency. - Open the Windows Terminal app. Click on the down arrow (v) next to the tabs and select "Settings." This should open your settings file (usually in a JSON format). Look for the "profiles" section, then look through the "list" array. If you see an entry for Ubuntu, you can delete that part of the configuration. Save the changes.
