IN XP Pro, with all current updates installed, the unlocked taskbar was
somehow resized to two rows from one. I could manually drag it down to a
line at the bottom of the display, or make it as large as I wanted, but it
would not resize to one row unless I unchecked the Quick Launch toolbar.
I copied all the files from the Quick Launch folder (right click on the
taskbar and click Open Folder) to another folder. With nothing in the Quick
Launch folder, the two-row taskbar showed only the usual vertical-line grey
separator icons stacked one above the other, just to the right of the Start
button. There was a space between the top and bottom icons. While dragging
the icons themselves didn't work, dragging the space between the icons, i.e.
just below the bottom of the top icon, pulling it to the right, immediately
corrected the problem.
I now notice that if I drag the taskbar up, from a single row to more rows,
the separator icon now stretches continuously between rows, while when the
problem was present there were two distinct separator icons.
I can't recreate the problem, so this may be a bit off. It may not be
necessary to clear out the Quick Launch folder.
