| 1268254 | 2012-04-03 22:05:00 | A few days ago, the task bar on my XP machine became twice as thick as normal across the bottom of the screen. I can 'grab' the top with the mouse but nothing happens when I try to reduce the size back to how it was. Rather annoying as it now hides some of the window of programs and I have to set it to 'auto hide' in order to see the full window. Any thoughts on how to solve this niggly issue? The task bar is not locked. | user (1404) | ||

| 1268256 | 2012-04-03 22:14:00 | The task bar was never locked in the first place and is not locked at present. At least, there is no check tick beside the option so I assume it is not locked... The task bar on my XP machine at work does not show the ability to 'grab' the task bar if it is locked. I am able to 'grab' the taskbar on my home machine but it does not move when I try to resize. | user (1404) | ||
| 1268257 | 2012-04-03 22:38:00 | Sometimes the icon tray goes to double or even triple layers, meaning the icons are clumped together instead of a single line and get "stuck". If this happens you wont be able to make the task bar smaller. Have a read of This forum (boards.fool.co.uk) Theres a few suggestions to try, usually one of them will work. |
