I just did an on-line download and upgrade from Windows 8.1 to 10 this
morning and can't get the task bar settings that I used to have. The
"Search the web and Windows" icon takes up about 1/3 of the tack bar
and I can't figure out how to shrink it down to a reasonable size. Any
suggestions other than use my fire axe?

In general I like what I've seen in Windows 10 but I haven't had time
to explore it very thoroughly. Another problem I've come across is the
layout for the Desktop. It is narrow and extends below the bottom of
the screen. I would like to expand its width and fit it onto the
screen like I had it in Windows 8.
