| 360094 | 2005-05-31 20:39:00 | My task bar has doubled in width. Probably something simple but it's got me beaten. How do I get it back to normal? Thanks, |

| 360097 | 2005-06-01 01:53:00 | I'm afraid this didn't work. I have since found that if I untick "Quick Launch" the task bar returns to it's normal size. This of course removes ths icons from the left end of the task bar. Those at the right remain unchanged. Ticking "quick launch" brings them back with the fat task bar. Weird :help: |

| 360098 | 2005-06-01 02:10:00 | The quick launch area can stuff that up. From memory it needs to be resized, but that can also be a tricky task if its presenting in a certain manner. There is a "gap" in the series of "dots" or "dimples" in the divider of the quick launch, in these cases and you need to drag left or right it from that spot. I have seen this before on someone elses PC, and fixed it but cannot remember the exact steps. |

| 360099 | 2005-06-01 02:23:00 | Normally 2 deviders (the line of dimples referred to by GF) have been stacked, one on top of the other causing the taskbar to double in size, You can try grabbing the offending devider and dragging to a different part of the taskbar, or dragging it off the taskbar completely. It also pay to make sure you have no other toolbars activated, a rightclick on the taskbar will bring up a list,untick em. It will probally take a bit of experimentation to get rid of the doubled up devider..... |

| 360100 | 2005-06-01 02:44:00 | That is such an annoying feature of Windows and especially IE and it is so frustrating trying to explain how to get Taskbars and Toolbars back to normal. It is not uncommon for people to get their IE Address Bar out of position so all that can be seen is the A of Address in some remote corner. I wish they would do away with all the options to reposition by dragging up or down or left and right or else have a selection that can set everything back to standard by one easy action. |
