    Taskbar doubles in size

    I have "Lock the Taskbar" ticked but clicking any of the taskbar icons
    doubles the size of the taskbar and I have to manually resize it back.

    How can this be stopped?

    Hi Lackey,

    This is strange. Have you tried restarting the computer to see if it clears the problem yet?

    Taskbar problems are often a sign of a corrupt Profile. You might try a new
    admin account to test that.

    Run System Restore to a time before the problem began.
