Couldn't set taskbar to one row at all (so couldn't lock it there) when I posted my problem, but I've figured it out since then. Maybe. Reduced size of Quick Launch toolbar (deleted icons I never intentionally put there in the first place), then deselected Quick Launch toolbar in Toolbars; when single row came back, reactivated Quick Launch. Works for now, anyway.I just can't figure out why I don't have that slider/partition thing on the task bar anymore that shortens quick launch bar, hiding icons as needed for space. No sign of it. Never had this problem before. Also, I turned on new scanner and scanned a couple of things today; taskbar disappeared completely until I pressed the Windows keyboard key. Related?This is not anything urgent! At all. Annoying, though. Would appreciate any insights you have --Deborah Thanks, Alisha.

Or is it locked when this happens? Have you tried setting it to one row and then locking it right away? Or is it locked when this happens?

I can drag it higher and I can drag it down into nothing, but I can't make it its original size. What's up here?

I found that I was doing things faster, because my cursor was usually at the top of the screen because that's where the minimize, close buttons and menus, etc. are.The only annoyance I have with moving it to the top, is that some things in the system tray don't detect the taskbar having been moved to the top, so notification windows show up at the bottom instead of the top.
