Start Panel Problem

Wednesday, March 9, 2005 by _02 | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Can anyone tell me why sometimes the start panel is huge (even on compact skins) and small at other times. I would like them to be small all the time. When their big they take up half the screen. I have reloaded and rebooted, but it will still be big. Thanks for any help.

right click on taskbar/properties/start menu tab/customize button, select how many programs you want loaded on the start panel pane..
thats how i control panel size, this is a winxp feature, you can also right click on the individual icons in the start panel pane and select "pin to start panel" to keep those particular programs in place, then set the limit for programs to say 5 or 6 ..these programs that arent "pinned" will change as your use of programs change...alternatively pin only the ones you want to keep and set the limit to zero, this will guranatee your task bar size will remain constant.
good luck

Pic, I can't thank you enough for all your help. You are a real gentleman!

Thanks Emilio and Night Train, you have been very kind.

Thankyou Diane, I could'nt see the forest for the trees! I have removed some of my progs, and my panel is even smaller than ever. Now if it wants to be big on it's own again it won't matter!

Thankyou everybody!
