I would like to change the size of the the icons in toolbars appearing on the taskbar. Anyone know how?

Thanks.
 
harryrich,

Right click the Taskbar, choose "Properties", and place a check in the "Show small icons in Start Menu" box.

If that doesn't provide enough adjustment;

Right click the desktop, and choose "Properties".
Choose the "Appearance" tab.
Under "Item", drop down, and select "icon".
Change the value here from 32, (the default), to the value you'd like. This will also affect the desktop icons, however.

Rich,

Changing the icon size in appearance does repaint the icons on the taskbar, but does not change their size.

I went from 48 to 72, and, just to make sure pasted images of the task bar in paintbrush. Exactly the same size.

It looks like the icons on the desktop, in the start menu, and in the tray are controllable but not those on the taskbar.

Thanks for the effort.

Harry
