Vertical Taskbar loses width after logout

I prefer to use a vertical Taskbar in Windows XP. However, everytime I log
out and log back in, the width changes and I have to reset it. How can I get
the width to stick when using the vertical taskbar?

More info: I have this problem on 4 machines that I use. Two of them use
Office 2000, one has Office XP & 2003. One is Office 2003 only. I'm not
aware of a speech utility being in use in any of them. I do have the
language bar on all 4 machines. I use the Quick Launch with small icons.

The speech utility (in the language bar) installs when you install Office
unless you customize the installation. My response to your previous post
was a suggestion that you look closely at what is installed on your machine
rather than the Windows taskbar itself. When I had this problem I never
found a taskbar setting that helped, but I did eventually discover a program
that was installed that did solve the problem when I closed the program. In
my case it was connected with the language bar. Your situation may vary,
but what I am saying is that I doubt your problem is caused by a taskbar
setting.

I think this is a bug in Windows XP.
Colin, thanks for your help - it appears that the language bar is also the
speech bar you were talking about. This is part of Windows XP, not Office. I
was able to verify not only that removal of the language bar from the Task
bar resolves the problem, but that this also occurs on a clean installation
of Windows XP Pro SP1.

Unfortuantely, I use the lnaguage bar to switch between keyboard layouts.

Is posting here using my @community.nospam email address going to get this
officially logged as a bug?
