Re: Taskbar risizes itself when I restart Windows

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.- Hide quoted text -


Ironic isn't the word I'd choose!

Weirdly enough, docking the taskbar to the left works fine. There
seems to be something specifically wrong with docking the taskbar to
the right of the screen.

I don't use auto-hide, I _do_ have 'keep the taskbar on top' checked,
and I always use Quick Launch. I also have the standard clock
displayed.

Also weirdly enough, my work PC doesn't seem to suffer this problem,
it's only my home PC, which seems to imply that it's something to do
with installed software. No idea what though.
