    Hello D, how are ya? :D

    Hover over the top of the taskbar til you get a vertical double-ended arrow then hold the left mouse button down and drag down til it's the size you want. Then right-click it and select 'lock the taskbar' to stop you doing it again :D
    Bulletproof

    it wont let me do that whilst quick launch is on the task bar :confused:

    i always had quick launch on before so i dont know why it has started doing this.

    I've just put my taskbar into the same situation as yours :D Then I did this - put the quick launch back on, either side of the icons there's what look like little dots (sorry - don't know the techie name lol). Hover over the ones on the right til you get a horizontal arrow then drag it to the right till all your icons are showing on the bar. Then lock the taskbar.
