I have just been re-installing XP and have inadvertently clicked the
Task Bar thereby increasing its thickness from about 5cms ( 1/2 inch)
to about twice that thickness .

How do I reduce it back to the previous size ? I can increase the
thickness but can't get it less than its present size.

This happened to me some time ago but I can't remember how to solve it
..

B.N.
 
Right click the taskbar then click to clear the Lock Taskbar option.

Move your cursor over the edge of the taskbar until it becomes a
double-headed arrow.

Left click and drag down to the single height.

Right click the taskbar then click Lock the Taskbar.

Now it can't be moved or resized unless the Lock Taskbar option is cleared
again.

If that doesn't work and you have Quick Launch...

Try small icons in Quick Launch and see what happens.

Right click the Taskbar | Select Lock the taskbar to unlock it | Right click
an empty area of the Quick Launch area and select View | Select Small icons

*View will not appear in the menu if the Taskbar is locked.

Also try placing all the toolbars,including the Quick Launch bar, on one
line then you can probably resize the Task Bar to one line.
