Taskbar.

[Joe]

Suddenly my taskbar cannot be adjusted for one segment.
It is either not there or starts with two segments. I
have tried all my "fixes" and none works. When I try to
downsize from two segments it just disappears. I
previously had just one segment and I wanted two I would
adjust it upwards and two segments would appear. Now when
I try to downsize it to one segment it just disappears.

I can adjust it upwards to more than two.

Thanks for any assistance.

Kelly said, just the other day:

"This can happen by opening Accessibility Options, etc. If the icons on the
Quick Launch bar are showing as being larger, it will result in the taskbar
being twice its height and also include the date or similar under the clock.

If this is the case, right click the Desktop/Properties/Appearance/
Advanced. Under the Item drop box choose Caption Buttons and change the
number by one, ok your way out, then rest to 25.

And/or reset your default to the XP Theme.

Other options to consider if the above doesn't help, nor moving the glider
over toward the Start Button to list only three icons in the Quick Launch
bar."
