taskbar double decking / double layering

[Jim Robin]

To the right of the taskbar which is dark blue I have quite a number of
shortcut icons - just to the left of the system time (clock). At some point
(and not at my own choosing), these icons double-decked themselves.

How do I get them back to a single deck?

Thanks in anticipation!

At some time you dragged the upper line of the taskbar upward, then dragged
something onto the second line. Use the taskbar Properties to 'unlock the
taskbar', and drag anything on top down to the first line, then resize the
taskbar, and lock it.

Jim, seems like you have quite a few programs launching at Startup. You
could reduce the
number of those by going to Start>Run type: msconfig click Ok and
select Startup from the top Menu. Uncheck any program that you don't want
running at Startup. Click
Apply, Ok. Or, I never tried this but you can rt click on the
Taskbar>select Properties>
Customize>rt click the rt column and click the down arrow. Select Always
Show for each
item.

Hi Mark,

The taskbar is down at its standard minimum width (the vertical height
property) and the icons which are double layered are half the size so as to
fit. As I have a wide-screen monitor, I have plenty of room for a single
layer of standard size icons. I just wish I knew how to fix this!

Thanks anyway for your kind response.

Hi Rich,

Actually I have very few icons in the bottom right and I also have a wide
monitor that is set to a high resolution so there is plenty of room.

However I do thank you for your suggestion.

that happened to me when I got a new flat screen monitor and started
messing with the settings
