Hey Guys,

Runnins XP SP2 Home edition. 3 GHz prcessor and 560 MB of RAM.

I prefer my taskbar on the side of my computer (I find it allows a lot more space for running programs) with a width of three programs in the launch bar. My problem is that recently the taskbar shrinks (aproximently the width of one icon in the launch bar) each time I restart windows.

Here are two pictures illustrating my problem. Here is how I'd like my taskbar to look:

Then I restart and my taskbar looks like this:

I usually lock my taskbar.

Does anyone know how I can make my taskbar stay the same size? A registry fix perhaps?

Thanks alot
Nate

Got the problem resolved. The issue was that the language bar (the "en" at the bottom of the picture) forced the taskbar to shrink. For now, I removed the language bar and the taskbar doesnt act up.... However, if anyone knows of a registry fix so that the language bar doesnt force a resize, let me know.

Thanks, Nate
