View Full Version : Customize Taskbar

I would like some help in customizing the Taskbar in XP Pro. I used to run ME and had it set up as below:

Quick
Programs/Folders

Launch


Links
Address






I can't seem to get the various toolbars to only stay within 2 of 4 rows. I have Powertoys installed but can't seem to figure it out to get what I would like.

Any serious "tweaking" help appreciated.

You want each toolbar 1 row high or 2?

Do you want each toolbar to be one row high (total height 2 rows)? Or 2 (total height 4 rows)?

Thanks for your response. Don't know if you can see the drawing (I can read with OE, Rich Text format), let me describe:
Taskbar: 4 rows high total
Quick Launch: Top 2 rows high, left side
Program/Folder buttons: Top 2 rows high, right side
Links: Bottom 2 rows, left side
Address: Bottom 2 rows, right side
Can get it to work with height of 1 row each but not 2.
Thanks again for your help.

I was afraid of that :)

I can do 2 high, but not 4 high, 2 & 2 :-(
