I must have checked something because now my icons in the Notificaion Area on
the right side of the taskbar are stacked up causing tow and three lines for
the bottom taskbar. How do I get these to go back to one continuous line so
I have only one line on the bottom. I have already right clicked on the
taskbar and in the notification area --customize--and restored the defaults
but that did not work. Can someone help? Thank You

Move the mouse to the top of the taskbar. When the cursor changes to
a two-headed arrow, press and hold the left mouse button and drag the
taskbar down to a single line.

You're welcome. I forgot to mention unlocking the taskbar, so I'm
glad that you remembered.

I keep three lines in my taskbar and use Auto-hide.

Too many IE windows or too many system tray entries? Or is your resolution
low?
