Re: Taskbar risizes itself when I restart Windows



I have my taskbar on the right-hand-side of my desktop.

I have the width set quite wide so that it can accommodate lots of
Quicklaunch icons.

I have 'Lock the Taskbar' checked, because I don't want the size to
change.

However, whenever I restart Windows, the Taskbar changes size - it
shrinks down to a width that is sort of one-and-a-half icons wide -
ugly as heck, and no use to me. For this reason, I always have to
manually re-size the Taskbar it whenever I log on.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I've had my taskbar docked to the left side on my monitor, and a bunch of
custom toolbars docked to the right, for years. I've never had any of them
resize or reposition themselves randomly.

I *don't* have the 'Lock the taskbar' option checked though. Wouldn't that
be ironic if that turned out to be the problem...

What about your other settings? I have Auto-hide unchecked, and 'Keep the
taskbar on top' checked. I keep Quick Launch disabled.
