I moved my taskbar (accidently) and when I tried to put it back ... it now
forms two rows. When I try to drag it down to reduce ... it only disappears
.... it won't let me reduce to one row. Help. Thanks.

What happens is that the end "margin" of the QuickLaunch toolbar has gotten so far over to the right that it is now down below. Unlock the Taskbar and then "grab" the dotted line on the bottom bar and drag it up to immediately to the right of the QuickLaunch icons. Now you've successfully made the QuickLaunch toolbar shorter and can "grab" the top bar of the Taskbar and "push" it down to the regular one-tier height.

had the same problem but found that , after right clicking on the taskbar to unlock it, it worked for my bu grabbing the top-side of the taskbar at the point where the small icons on the right are and pull it down one row. cheers "Malke" wrote: > Cowtoon wrote: > > > I moved my taskbar (accidently) and when I tried to put it back ... it now > > forms two rows.

Cowtoon I did the same once and took me many days and months to accidentally find the simple solution. If you try to pull down the taskbar in the middle it disappears, but if you go to the extreme right end and grab it in the upper right hand corner in the box and pull it down your task bar will jump back to one line. -- Clyde W5PGH Computer Guy "Cowtoon" wrote: > I moved my taskbar (accidently) and when I tried to put it back ... it now > forms two rows.
