Re: Double taskbar!

Click and drag the outer border (top assuming the taskbar is at the bottom of the screen) downward.

HTH :)

right click the taskbar and untick lock task bar

And just for those that don't know, ( there are a few coz this keeps comingup ) as well as increasing / decreasing the size of the bar you can also move it to the top or sides of the screen by dragging and dropping :tu:

When you hover the mouse cursor over the top edge of the task bar, do you see a double headed arrow ??

Re: Double taskbar!

there is a vertical line just to the right of your start button hover your mouse cursor over it until you see a double headed arrow, then hold your left mouse button down while slowly moving your mouse to adjust the position.

I'll have to keep trying.......now the top icons are now on the second row and vice versa, sometimes when I am dragging I am getting three rows!

Well if you can drag the icons and bar around your on the right track, first, try getting your quick launch / sys tray icons on one line, then resize your taskbar, just have to keep experimenting,, you'll get it in the end :tu:

EDIT: try and resize your quick launch bar by dragging the vertical line on the tasbar.
