This may sound like a trivial and unnecessary question, but it keeps annoying me more and more. If you choose "small icons" for the taskbar in Windows 7 and the taskbar is either at the top or the bottom of the screen the taskbar will become pretty small.
But since I have a widescreen monitor, I'm used to having the taskbar on the side of the screen, since it uses the space more efficiently. But I can't get the taskbar narrower than a certain level and it stays pretty wide.
Is there maybe a registry entry that I could set to get the same width on the side of the screen as the height I am getting at the bottom or top?
(P.S.: The MinWidth trick doesn't help here.)
Answer
One perfect working solution would be:
- create a ThinTaskbar.bat file
- enter the following content:
@echo off
echo ThinTaskbar
echo Please wait a few secconds...
net stop "UxSms"
net start "UxSms"
- save and close
- turn on the following taskbar options: lock and autohide
- execute batch script with administrator privileges
- done!
Now you can disable autohide, if you want. The script must be applied after each reboot.
