Windows XP: Stuck with a double row height taskbar and can't get it
back down to one row?
If you are stuck with a double height taskbar in XP that looks like
this (or the other way up)
the reason for this is that somehow you have dragged the quicklaunch
or other taskbar row ABOVE or BELOW the other!
This situation is easily remedied by mouseover one of the sets of vertical
dots until you get a <--> symbol, right click and drag the dotted
region off to the side until you see only a single row of icons as below
The taskbar WILL NOT automatically reduce in size to one row again,
you need to mouseover the top edge and then click and drag it down when
you see the up/down arrow
If there are too many windows open and/or too many quicklauch icons
you might not be able to show a single row, in that case close some Apps
down or remove some quicklauch icons!
Be aware that the lock taskbar and other options on the taskbar menu
might interfere with you getting back to one row of icons if you have
be trying to sort this problem without really knowing how!
