Restore the Task bar

[Guest Daniel- Sydney]

Hi

 

I have XP Pro, for some reason my Task bar has doubled in size and has a

second "Quick Launch" section which has an inoperative shortcut that cannot

be deleted.

 

Is there a way to get my Task bar back to normal.

 

Thanks

If you don't want to use the Quicklaunch bar, right-click on an empty area

of the Taskbar and under the Toolbars section uncheck Quicklaunch. If you

do want to use Quicklaunch but want a single-height Taskbar:

 

What happens is that the end "margin" of the QuickLaunch toolbar has gotten

so far over to the right that it is now down below. Unlock the Taskbar and

then "grab" the dotted line on the bottom bar and drag it up to immediately

to the right of the QuickLaunch icons. Now you've successfully made the

QuickLaunch toolbar shorter and can "grab" the top bar of the Taskbar and

"push" it down to the regular one-tier height.
