the screen and when I bring it back up, it goes back to double height. The
icons on the right side are stacked vertically 2 and 3 high, same size as
originals. 1st line is time, 2nd line is day, third line is date. I never
saw day or date before. On the left side of the taskbar, Icons are on one
line then open programs such as ( windows xp newsgro...) is on the second
line. It used to be to the right of the icons.
Lou,
Your problem is that you have moved your Quick Launch toolbar from its
original location (left or right of the Taskbar?) to on top of the
Taskbar. The Quick Launch toolbar can be placed in any of four
positions relative to the Taskbar (above, right, below, or left), plus
it can be moved off the Taskbar and docked on another screen edge.
Moving the QL Toolbar is done by grasping the toolbar handle (a broken
vertical line just to the right of the Start button), and moving it.
Figuring out exactly how to move the handle is trippy, you have to
play with it a while.
Once you get the QL Toolbar repositioned, you can resize it by
adjusting the Taskbar handle left or right. Then resize the Taskbar
vertically by grasping its upper edge and moving up or down.
Cheers,
Chuck

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
moving the quick launch bar doesn't seem to do what he is describing. it
sounds like he somehow stretched the task bar to double its normal height
and locked it there. try right clicking on the bar, select properties, make
sure 'lock the taskbar' is not checked. then apply and exit from it. you
should be able to see a difference in the top edge of the task bar when it
is locked and unlocked. when its unlocked you should be able to grab the
top edge and stretch it taller or shorter.
another odd possibility is that somehow you got switched to supersize
icons... are the icons in the task bar and systray normal size??
