Change Icon Size on Taskbar?

Can one change the size of the icons shown on the taskbar?
Because I have a larger monitor now, I enlarged the sizes of
the desktop icons to make them easier to see/read. I can
find no way to enlarge the taskbar icons. Ideas?

(I'm using the pro version of W-2000.)

Thanks.

When I click on the taskbar I do not get a "select View"
option.

No "View" option appears when I right click on the taskbar
in most areas of it, but it does appear if I right click on
the current icons on the taskbar. Have now made the change.
Thank you.

Are you actually referring to the Quick Launch bar rather than the
Taskbar? And right-clicking between the buttons rather than on them?
That's the only way I can get to a View option.

Hmmmm. I guess I don't know where one stops and the other
starts. On my screen I'm talking about the very bottom row
of text. Reading left to right there is the Start button,
then the icons in question, then buttons for each window I
have open, then a window showing an icon indicating I'm
online, and lastly the time.

For my system, I have to right-click to the right of the
Start button, and to the left of the buttons showing which
windows are open, in order to get the View option.

Yeah, that would be the Quick Launch bar. It's actually a separate
toolbar that is by default overlaid onto the Taskbar, but you can if you
want drag it off and make it completely separate, possibly docking it at
the side or top of the screen.
