I'm trying to help a neighbor who has an eMachine running WinXP [home]. I'm
not overly familiar with XP [I use Win2000]. Suddenly, her Taskbar is too
wide - like two rows wide. She has only about 5 [little] icons in the
SysTray [aka: Notification Area] - and 4 small icons in Quick Launch.
Problem is: the only way to get the Taskbar 'width' back to the normal one
row, is to remove the Quick Launch icons. When I regain the normal width,
and put the 4 Quick Launch icons back, the Taskbar gets double-wide. This
occurs with no programs minimized - only the SysTray icons and the Quick
Launch icons present.
Observations: When QL icons are present, the SysTray icons are 'bunched
up' - not spread out. When QL icons are removed, SysTray icons are spread
out as normal. I've right-clicked on taskbar and gone to 'Properties' and
tried all sorts of things. No matter what I do, I'm unable to get her
taskbar back to 'normal.'
Help!
