Taskbar stuck at double height

[Guest Bill]

my taskbar is stuck at double height. I can make it taller but not down to

standard height.

Hi Bill,

 

You have a toolbar that most likely has extended itself to the 2nd row.

Try moving the bars around a bit on whatever toolbars are showing.

You probably dragged the border of one of your toolbars, making it too

long to fit on a one-line taskbar.

Hi Terry...thx for the input but the only other task bar I have is the bar to

the right showing the programs currently running & it dosen't have the bar to

resize it anymore either. The icons are are bunched in a square in the right

corner. It's strange. I've never encountered this before.

Hi Bill,

 

Not another Taskbar, but a toolbar within the Taskbar. What is to the

right of the Taskbar is the System Tray. Make sure your Taskbar is

unlocked (I assume it is if you already can make it taller) by right

clicking on it and if "Lock the Taskbar" is checked, click on it once.

Now you should be able to see vertical "bars". They are denoting where

a toolbar is within the Taskbar. If you don't see any vertical bars,

right click on the Taskbar again, look under Toolbars and uncheck any

that are checked.

 

Report back,

Re: Taskbar stuck at double height

 

Hi Terry,

 

The first thing I checked was whether the task bar was locked. It was not.

The only toolbar I have is the quick launch. When I remove it, the task bar

goes back to normal. When I add it back again the taskbar goes back to

double height. It has something to do with the quick launch.

 

Weird huh...

Like I said before, it's because the QL toolbar is too long and it's

wrapping to a 2nd line. You need to find the "end" of the toolbar and

drag it back to only the small area next to the Start button.

Re: Taskbar stuck at double height

 

Hi Terry,

 

The first thing I checked was whether the task bar was locked. It wasn't.

However, I turned the quick launch bar off & the task bar returned to normal

height. When I added it back the task bar returned to double height. It has

something to do with the quick launch bar. Weird huh? I'm a high level

Windows user & have never seen anything like this before.

The answer has been given to you by Terry R., but to state in different

words, click the vertical divider in the bottom row that is to the left

of the QL bar, and drag it to the right of the QL bar. Release and you

should have one long divider on either side of the QL area. Now drag

the Taskbar to the preferred height, and resize the QL bar to the

preferred width.

Re: Taskbar stuck at double height

 

Hi Joe,

 

I would love to be able to resize the quick launch bar but the vertical

lines are not present when the bar is at vertical height. I've never seen

ths before & I've been using windows since it was first released. It's

really strange.

RE: Taskbar stuck at double height

 

Hey guys... I just fixed the problem. I moved the vertical bar next to the

Start menu just a little to the right & the vertical bar re-appeaared next to

the quick launch bar. I was then able to fix the problem.

 

Thx for your input.
