What often 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.

Marty,

Try this. Right click on your taskbar, uncheck "lock the taskbar".

Move the mouse down until it is just at the top of the menu bar. You'll know when you have it.

Now hold your left mouse button down and resize to your liking. Then right click on your taskbar and check "lock the taskbar".

That should help you resize it.

If you have toolbars on the task bar on multiple lines, you won't be
able to reduce the task bar size to fewer than that number of lines.
Put all the toolbars on one line first.
