Taskbar - Open Apps

Little room for open app icons. I used to have the full width of the taskbar
- from Start to SysTray (even with Address Toolbar checked) - for open app
icons to show. Now I only have the space from the end of the QuickLaunch to
the Clock or Address Toolbar if checked even though I have two lines. When
unlocked the vertical taskbar separators are the full 2 line height.

WinXP Pro SP2, Taskbar is two lines high, when Address Toolbar is checked it
appears in the centered in the two lines, "seems" it may have changed with
the install of Nero 7.5 - it installs a tooldbar by default. No change
without Nero toolbar.

I hate the small app icons! Is there a fix?

Click and drag each divider on the left around till you get the effect
you desire.

Re: Taskbar - Open Apps

Dragging the sizing bar does not release the icons to fill the bottom
line/row. Top line WAS divided into two sections - QuickLaunch and Address
Toolbar - Opened apps never appeared in this top line. The lower line/row ran
the full length of the screen up to the Systray - leaving lots of room for
open app icons to be readily seen and identified. Nothing opens under the
QuickLaunch or Address Toolbars at all.
