Taskbar problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I have dragged my taskbar up to enlarge it and now cannot reduce it to it's
original dimension again.
It seems to be locked at aproximately twice it's normal size, even though I
have NOT turned on
the "lock the Taskbar" setting.

Anyone able to tell me how to fix this?

First, unlock the Taskbar (right-click on Taskbar, uncheck
"Lock the Taskbar")

Click and drag the separator bar over to the right of the Taskbar
(It's the separator that looks like four dots and then three dots
running side by side vertically). It seems to allow you to create a
double-decker effect with the Taskbar. Once you drag the lower one to
the right of the Taskbar, it allows you to resize the Taskbar.

Alternative:
