"Double-Wide" Taskbar

[Guest]

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

I inadvertantly moved my taskbar to the side of the screen; when I moved it
back to the bottom, the taskbar had doubled in width [top to bottom];
reducing the size with the little double arrow makes it disappear altogether,
below the screen. I've tried deleting and replacing all shortcut
icons,showing and hiding the clock in the tray at the right, and nothing
seems to help. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

This happened to me personally a few days ago. Try to turn of all the toolbars (right click on
taskbar/toolbars/uncheck all the toolbars) and then try to resize it again.

To have a single height taskbar there must be only 1 row of toolbars. All toolbars must be left or right of each other not above or below.

Right click the taskbar then click to clear the Lock Taskbar option.

Left click, hold down the button and drag the Taskbar down to the bottom.

Right click the taskbar then click Lock the Taskbar.

Now it can't be moved or resized unless the Lock Taskbar option is cleared
again.

Right click the taskbar then click to clear the Lock Taskbar option.

Move your cursor over the edge of the taskbar until it becomes a
double-headed arrow.

Left click and drag down to the single height.

Right click the taskbar then click Lock the Taskbar.

Now it can't be moved or resized unless the Lock Taskbar option is cleared
again.

If that doesn't work. Remove Quick Launch resize then add Quick Launch
back.
