I just did an on-line download and upgrade from Windows 8.1 to 10 this

and I can't figure out how to shrink it down to a reasonable size. Any
suggestions other than use my fire axe?

Rightclick Taskbarcortanaicon or hide

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.

Mine is the same can only make it so wide, At least it scrolls up and
down and not sidewise.

Well, the problem popped back up. I can't figure out how to do
anything to permanently modify the "Search the web and Windows" icon.
It seems to be carved in stone and will be a permanent thing. Gordon
