taskbar

[Jerome Cherry]

I am the administrator of my XP system with one user.
The taskbar at the bottom of the users account has become
twice as high giving it that chubby look. How can I
return it to its regular size?

Hi Jerome,

This can happen by opening Accessibility Options, etc. If the icons on the
Quick Launch bar are showing as being larger, it will result in the taskbar
being twice its height and also include the date or similar under the clock.

If this is the case, right click the Desktop/Properties/Appearance/
Advanced. Under the Item drop box choose Caption Buttons and change the
number by one, ok your way out, then rest to 25.

And/or reset your default to the XP Theme.

Other options to consider if the above doesn't help, nor moving the glider
over toward the Start Button to list only three icons in the Quick Launch
bar:

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

Right click on the taskbar and see that the "Lock the
taskbar" is not checked. this prevents u from sizing the
height of the taskbar. once you resize it you can lock it
again to prevent it resizing.
