Resize Taskbar???

[ursa99]

My taskbar where the Start Menu is has grown to double height. I have not
been able figure out how to get it back to single height. It's taking up
valuable screen space. Any help appreciated.

Move the mouse cursor to the top border of Taskbar.

Then click and jold left mouse button.

Drag the border until you have the size of the Taskbar you want.

Move your cursor over the top portion of the Taskbar until it becomes a
double arrow - hold down the left mouse button and pull it down until it
resizes to single height.

Let me just expand on the first two answers (both of the right, of course).

Having the Taskbar show more than the default one line can be a big help,
especially in these days when people are likely to have a lot of software
running at any one time. But as you say, it does take up screen realestate.
So, there is a simple way to have the best of both worlds, here. Simply
right-click on the Taskbar and clikc on Properties, then check the box on the
item that says "Auto-hide the taskbar". When you click the 'Apply' button on
the bottom of the dialog box, you'll see the entire Taskbar disappear. Don't
be worried. Bring your mouse pointer near the bottom of the screen and it
will reappear.

This way, you can set the Taskbar to two or three lines and still have even
more screen room than you started with.
