Taskbar configuration

[Guest]

I unlocked the TASKBAR in hopes of making a minor adjustment. When I did, it reconfigured the bottom part of the screen into a two line taskbar, which uses up a lot of screen space for no apparent reason! I have tried menus, dialogs, buttons and help files, but nothing seems to address how to adjust this. I want a one line informaiton area from the START button to the TASKBAR/INFORMATION (date, etc.) area. Thanks for you consideration!

First, unlock the Taskbar (right-click on taskbar, uncheck
"Lock the Taskbar")

Click and drag the separator bar over to the right of the taskbar
(It's the separator that looks like four dots and then three dots
running side by side vertically). It seems to allow you do a double-
decker effect with the task bar. Once you drag the lower one to
the right of the taskbar, it allows you to resize the taskbar.

Boy do I feel dumb! I discovered how to change the vertical size right after I posted this message. However, thanks for the super quick response
