Where are the task bar icons stored on Windows 10

I just went to

%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

and the User Pinned folder was there but hidden. To see it, make sure hidden files are being shown.

If you pin a program, it should be in that location.

Have you tried copying and pasting the path in Windows Explorer? It should take you there.

Anyway, you can use a program like Everything Search Engine to find the path where your pinned programs are stored in your PC.

Windows 10 TaskBar folder is located at C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar
