I have a clients machine that has randomly decided to up the size of the icons on the quick launch tool bar and in the system tray.. also the time now has the day appearing beneath it. Any ideas on how to get this back to the norm???

HI
If you use the Winxp System, you can select tool bar propertise,slect the show the quick launch tool bar.
And the all the icon kept under C:\Documents and Settings\XXX\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch.
hope this can help you.

 

Have him carefully place the mouse cursor on the divider bar between the Start Button and the Quick launch area. When the cursor changes to a double arrow, right click it. Right clicking that area will display a context menu with "View" listed on it. You may then select either large or small icons from the view area. It may take some patience to get this menu but it will appear when the cursor is placed properly as indicated.

 

Thanks Christer, good catch since if the Taskbar is locked that divider bar and menu is not available. Then of course he may want to lock the Taskbar when he finishes to possibly prevent this from happening again. It may just have happened inadvertantly though and no action will be needed.

 

Cheers

Hey guys...

Thanks for the great tips... i ended up just doing a system restore to a couple of days b4... i think it may have been the large icon settings under the quickluanch view.. but the sys restore fixed it.

Thanks again

PS like the forum will definitely use it more now.. havent found a decent windows forum till this one only ever used linux forums

Cheers
