Cortana, like or dislike, it is the search engine for your computer. But Cortana does not need to take up so much of the task bar if you do not want it there.
To minimize Cortana to just its icon, right-click the task bar, go to CORTANA and select SHOW CORTANA ICON
Now the task bar has a nice, simple and small, Cortana icon
Click the Cortana icon and the Start Menu opens with the Cortana search bar

If you are running Office 365, PowerPoint 2106, a new addition was added to the ribbon – Icons!
This is a Microsoft offering, not an add-in from a 3rd party. It is also linked to our new .svg image support. Click the Icons button and there is a large library of professional and modern icons available.
Just search through the many categories, select an icon and click INSERT to add to a slide.
Every icon is provided in the .svg format. So, all icons can be resized with no quality loss, are very small file size, and can be recolored and offer limited styling options within PowerPoint (see previous post for overview of PowerPoint SVG formatting options and limitations).
