Taskbar

[Linda]

My taskbar was changed by somehow, (won't say children)
but now I have a cluster of icons where is I had them in
a straight line, I have tried moving it up and down but
my options when I get it to move down is it disappears.
How do I get this back to normal again?

Hi Linda,

Depending......

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:
