Thread: Windows Taskbar problem

I always forget how to fix these things. I somehow made my taskbar twice as high as it should be. how do I fix this?

Point to the top of it right on the edge, Click and hold your mouse then shrink it in the direction you want.

Nope. Nothing happens. Or, yo be more accurate I can make it larger and return it to its current zize but I cannot make it smaller.

When you are at the top of the taskbar your pointer should change to an arrorw that has two sides on it Ala

When you see it like that you can click and drag the taskbar to make it bigger and smaller/

NO. It will not get smaller than it is now. That is the minimum size. Yes I get the arrow pints at bothe ends but I cannot make it smaller.

Ok are you using Windows XP? Right Click on the taskbar and make sure "Lock Taskbar" is not clicked.

I am using Windoiws Xp and the traskbar is not locked., If it was I would be unable to change the size at all. In this case I can change it but I cannot make it smaller than double the normal height.

Hmm out of ideas for ya buddy. Wish I could help more.

Check if you have any blank toolbars open.

Right click on the taskbar, go to Toolbars and then uncheck any that are checked.

Then try to resize your taskbar.
