How do I adjust the taskbar thickness in WinXP Pro?
Did a fresh install of WinXP Pro and I can't remember how to adjust the thickness in the taskbar. Also, how to I adjust the fonts in the taskbar so they're more legible? Thanks.

Display properties, advanced, general, change it to large fonts.

If you right click on the bar and uncheck "Lock taskbar", you can grab the edge of the bar and drag it up and down if you need more space.

Yes, but all that does is give you more than one row.

That was my interpretation of "thickness".

It definitely makes it "thicker" but does not make the icons or text any larger or more readable.

1. Right click anywhere on your Desktop (not on an icon) and the context menu appears.
2. From the context menu, select Properties, and the Display Properties window appears. 3. Select the "Appearance" tab by clicking on it once. 4. Select the "Active Title Bar" from the "Item:" drop down list. 5. Adjust the font size, color, bold, or italics using the selectors to the right of the font box. 6. Click Apply to see how things will look, then OK to put the Display Properties dialog box away. |
