How do I change the size of my taskbar in Windows 7?

Shark’s solution kind of worked for me, but make sure you also use small icons for your taskbar.

  1. Right click start.
  2. Click properties.
  3. Click the taskbar tab.
  4. Check use small icons.
  5. Right click the taskbar, and make sure “lock the taskbar is off”
  6. Drag the taskbar down to your preferred size.

How do I make my taskbar normal size?

First, position your mouse cursor on the edge of the taskbar. The pointer cursor will change into the resize cursor, which looks like a short vertical line with an arrow head on each end. Once you see the resize cursor, click and drag the mouse up or down to change the height of the taskbar.
