Taskbar

[KenV]

I have XP Pro, SP2, IE7, everything current.

Is there any way to start over with the taskbar via the registry? I have a few
quick launch icons on the bottom left, several icons for background programs
bottom right, and the space in the middle is mostly gray with some vertical gray
lines. The current running programs are all bunched up in one space with up and
down arrows, and no matter what I do in moving the gray vertical bars, I cannot
get the running programs to spread across the bottom, as they used to do.
Actually, sometimes I can get them to spread out, but they won't stay spread
out.

The taskbar is not locked. Sometimes I get a double height taskbar that I can't
reduce.

Sorry about my imprecise use of the terminology.

How do I reset the taskbar to where it was originally?

Thanks.
