Task bar problem

[clay]

All of a sudden my taskbar is about an inch high. I have drug it down and
all the way up but it still is
more than twice the height it should be. Anyone familiar with this problem.
Thanks.

Hi Clay,

Depends on my many factors.....

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:

Lock Size, Settings and Position of the Taskbar (Line 128)

Save Settings on Exit (Line 54)

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.

Or use my utility: Good luck!

This can happen if the faint hatched 'handle' that should be just right
of the Quick Launch has got dragged too far over and has jumped down to
the lower level. Look for it just under the right end of the Start
button, and if there, drag it right and up to just clear of those icons
