Probably been asked many times before but I can't find an answer...Recently,
my icons shrunk to just a square with the icon and first letter of open
program followed by a period. How do I get back the icons that show the
entire program name? Thanks!

Joe,

I must be a dummy. I tried line 117 and 164, opened the scripts and nothing
happens. It says to wait for prompts but I didn't see any. What am I doing
wrong? Thanks

Save 117 to the Desktop, then right-click, click "Merge". If the .vbs
(#164) didn't execute, you might have a program blocking .vbs scripts
from running. Do you possibly have malware on your system? Could you
be infected? That could block the repair too.

The third link might be better for repairing the Taskbar.
