Can you make the tool bars behave like under Win98 ?

[P. Burrows]

When you added enough programs under Win98, it would start to make the
toolbars less wide. In XP it seems you can chose to have tool bars
grouped, or get a scroll bar - but not the "less wide" option - is it
somehow possible to enable this?

Toolbars in what application? Do you mean the Task Bar?

Hi,

An option is to change the size of the buttons. To do so, run the edit on
line 97 (right hand side): http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Hmm....I've never seen a scrollbar down there, sorry.

Disable grouping - start notepad 10 times - you'll see it (assuming you
are not nearsighted) - however i didn't ask how to get it.

Yeah, except that makes them permanently narrower, not only when
required.

Thanks anyway.
