3-line taskbar

  • Thread starter Thread starter Bill DeShawn at Gregg Creghton's Office
  • Start date Start date
Right click the taskbar then click to clear the Lock Taskbar option.

Move your cursor over the edge of the taskbar until it becomes a
double-headed arrow.

Left click and drag down to the single or double height.

Right click the taskbar then click Lock the Taskbar.

Now it can't be moved or resized unless the Lock Taskbar option is cleared
again.

Hi,
I've fixed this when students managed to make the taskbar twice it's normal
height, but it wasn't locked- it just wouldn't resize. I wish I could
remember exactly what I did.

The fix involved moving and resizing the Quicklaunch bar in every way
possible until, finally, the taskbar would return to it's regular size.

Next time I'll take notes. <G>

Been there. Done that. It doesn't work. The double arrow appears, but the
bar remains at 3 lines. It will not reduce. Well, It's actually two. It
looks like three because the clock shows three lines. One for the hour and
minutes, one for the day of the week, and one for the date. But there is no
reason, even if I don't show the clock, the taskbar and quick launch bar...
wait a minute. This conversation prompted me to try something. The
quick-launch bar and the task bar did not want to share the same space. I
worked with that for a while and got it working. As soon as I did that, I
was able to reduce the task bar size. Thanks for your help.

Hey, you got it! I came up with the same solution, then I read this. Too
bad you weren't here earlier. But thanks. You hit the nail on the head.
