Problems with Windows taskbar

[Wallace]

The taskbar at the bottom of the windows desktop has suddenly decided to
become two lines thick. I've tried to drag and drop to reduce it to 1 line,
but it just gives the choice of 2 lines or no lines. I've also rebooted and
this hasn't made a difference.

Any suggestions of what to do?

I'm not an expert, but this happened to someone at work...is the taskbar
locked? We had to unlock the taskbar before it would allow her to go to one
line.

Hope it works for you!

What often 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.
