Right click the taskbar then click to clear the Lock Taskbar option.
Move your cursor over the edge of the taskbar until it becomes a
double-headed arrow.
Left click and drag down to the single height.
Right click the taskbar then click Lock the Taskbar.
Now it can't be moved or resized unless the Lock Taskbar option is cleared
again.
If that doesn't work...
From Bill DeShawn...
Been there. Done that. It doesn't work. The double arrow appears, but the
bar remains at 3 lines. It will not reduce. Well, It's actually two. It
looks like three because the clock shows three lines. One for the hour and
minutes, one for the day of the week, and one for the date. But there is no
reason, even if I don't show the clock, the taskbar and quick launch bar...
wait a minute. This conversation prompted me to try something. The
quick-launch bar and the task bar did not want to share the same space. I
worked with that for a while and got it working. As soon as I did that, I
was able to reduce the task bar size. Thanks for your help.

Hi Andy,[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckR
Thanks for this info. I'll need more specifics, though, since I'm not
that knowledgeable. First of all, I'm not sure how to "open the
registry". Then once having found that key, how should I back it up
before deleting it?

Hi,
Close any open desktop and taskbar applications, then open your registry
and
find the key below.
Backup and Delete the entire "StuckRects" key, or "StuckRects2" and
reboot.
When Windows restarts the taskbar should be set back to a default working
state.

All of a sudden my taskbar at the bottom is double width. I've tried
(using
the two-way arrow) to drag it back to single width, but nothing happens.
The taskbar is not locked (I know, it should have been) so that's not
the problem. Any help appreciated!
