I will create a new USB after re-formatting it and will give 'Lite' a go. It seems strange but the 'Files' app seems to be the worst of all apps. Failing to open or opening delayed with multiple versions after being clicked various times. I hope Lite works as I am getting tired of this distro hopping and just want set up/configured and then move forward. Thanks
Try KDE Neon after you try Lite
I am trying Zorin Pro Lite and have what I feel is a dumb question but can't seem to figure it out. I installed Zorin Pro Lite and am doing configurations. I can not figure out how to make an app a favorite so it saves to my tray at the bottom of the screen. Regular Zorin I just need to hold the cursor on the icon and then select Favorite but on Lite nothing comes up to select? What am I doing wrong?
Launch it -> right click while it is open on the panel -> left click “pin to dock”
I have clicked on all sides of my touch pad and nothing comes up to select.
In the linked pic, the settings are open and have a gear icon showing in the tray. Right click that icon (which corresponds to your application that is already launched and an active window)

I have done this over and over and nothing pops up with any selections. I even tried the old windows trick of rebooting. I tried multiple apps. I opened them and then clicked on their icon in the try and nothing. When I had Zorin Pro installed it seemed to work just fine but needed to downgrade(?) to lite.
Lite is not a downgrade. Just a different desktop environment (XFCE).
Can you post a screenshot of what you get when you right click the panel (taskbar) icon of any open application?
I opened Qownnotes and hovered on the icon and the little mini view of the larger screen pops up. If I click on the icon the Qownnotes screen minimizes.
I am glad to know Lite is not a downgrade. To me, Lite beer is certainly a downgrade from a real pint. lol
So now, instead of left-clicking, you instead right-click on the icon. Any menu?
left, right. top. bottom...all same result, nothing
Can you try with a mouse connected instead of using your touchpad?
I don't have a separate mouse. Also it seemed to work just fine when I was on Pro. I installed Lite on Thurs/Fri this week.
Check this post and the one immediately following it All Settings icon shows Power Manager - #4 by dasjdoom
to see if either of those methods help you create a Favorite.
Unfortunately, I have only learned the method I just walked you through. Maybe these others work for you.
OK thanks, I will look at this in the morning. It is late here. Merry Christmas!
Extending that analogy, Lite should allow your computer to take on more before it falls over 
Have you gone into Zorin Mouse/Touchpad settings and checked right click function is available and working.
I finally did get the 'pinning' to work. It popped up if I use two fingers vs one on the right side of my touchpad. I knew it was something dumb. The Touchpad tracking and clicking does seem a bit off. I guess i will play with the settings. Another question I have is how to set a password request when starting the machine? When I installed Zorin a remember saying it wasn't required but now I would like to reset that and can't find where.
