Do you mean the Yahoo Toolbar and the Bookmarks bar Douglas?

Or do you mean the Browser bar?

Right click on an empty area of the Taskbar and choose Properties.

Make sure "Use Small Icons" is ticked in the Taskbar tab.

Ok Douglas then if your configuring the registry then anything could happen.

Right click on the Taskbar and select Properties.
For Taskbar Buttons, select Always combine, hide labels.

[DOUGLASS3020]

well by configuring the registry it's fixed

here is exactly what i did Click on the start button and type in regedit and hit Enter.
Navigate through HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Desktop\WindowMetrics.
Create a new REG_SZ value and call it MinWidth
Set the value of MinWidth to 56
Restart
