Taskbar Icons

Is there some way to increase the size of the icons in the task bar. The
desktop icons are fine, but the taskbar icons are so tiny one has difficulty
distinguishing them.

Re: Taskbar Icons

unlock the taskbar, right click close to the Quicklaunch on the left "grab
bar" then go to VIEW> Large Icons.

Re: Taskbar Icons

There is no lettering in the tray so I don't see that as an issue. Just
tiny icons of the programs running in the background that started up
automatically -- my virus program for example.
