Somehow, inadvertantly I made the taskbar at the bottom of the screen twice the size, and it refuses to become the single blue line that it once was. I right clicked, I dragged . . . cannot figure it out.
I did check the stick and searched both online and the SDMBs, to no avail. Can you help?
Thank you.
Move the cursor to the upper edge of the taskbar. It will become a double-headed arrow. Then drag the cursor down and release (if you go too far, it will disappear, but you can bring it back by the same method).
You might have locked the taskbar so its size can’t be changed. Right click on it and make sure there is no checkbox next to “Lock the Taskbar”.
I’ve tried both of those things . . . the taskbar is not locked, and when I drag the top edge, it will allow me to make it bigger, and to disappear, but will not let me reduce it to just one line. Driving me crazy!
Now that the bar is 2 times it’s normal size, it has my application shorcuts on the top half, and my open documents on the bottom half.
I hate PCs, I want my Mac at work!!
Nevermind . . . just figured it out. You know those embossed lines to the left of the buttons and to the right of the start menu? If you drag the embossed dots, you’ll move around whatever is to the right of them. I moved my shortcuts to a seperate line, so I could no longer reduce the size of the taskbar because both lines had either shortcuts or open documents on them. Once I got everything back on the same line, the “drag” trick worked without problems. It only lets you reduce lines with nothing on them.
Thank you!
