First, unlock the Taskbar (right-click on taskbar, uncheck
"Lock the Taskbar")
Click and drag the separator bar over to the right of the taskbar.
It's the separator that looks like four dots and then three dots
running side by side vertically. It seems to allow you do a double-
decker effect with the task bar. Once you drag the lower one to
the right of the taskbar, it allows you to resize the taskbar.
