Large Icons

[Ron]

I recently relocated the Start Bar from the side of the screen to the
bottom. After doing that the small icons changed to Large Icons. I went into
properties and removed the check for small icons, re-booted and rechecked
the box. I still have Large Icons in the Task Bar. How can I change them
back to small?

Hi Ron,

Thanks Kelly, but no luck. The Icons are still large which forces the
taskbar to be twice it's normal height. I'm still open for suggestions?

Hi Ron,

Even resetting the Taskbar to default? If so, here are some checkpoints to
consider: Depending on the cause.

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:
