Your taskbar buttons are all crowded together on the far right side of the taskbar when there is plenty of empty taskbar space in the middle. Why didn't you say so?</p> <p>Right-click on the taskbar and undo the check mark on "Lock the taskbar". Now, some resizing handles will show up to the left of each *toolbar* open on the taskbar. There may be an extra toolbar activated that you are not using, so verify that the taskbar menu -&gt; Toolbars submenu has only the selections you want. Then grab the resize handle next to the taskbar buttons and drag it back to the left over by the quick launch toolbar. This will provide more space for the taskbar buttons. Then Lock the taskbar again from it's menu so it doesn't get messed up again. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/window-problem#post-36374 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:51:40 +0000 Lighthouse 36374@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>k9. You have good eyesight :) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/window-problem#post-36370 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:45:55 +0000 k9 36370@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Right click on your task bar, make sure there is no tick mark against "Lock the taskbar" (if needed click on it to unlock your taskbar). You can now see some dots kind of thing appearing (sorry for being vague!). Now move your mouse pointer on top of it (the pointer gets changed to a double ended arrow) and then drag it to the left while pressing and holding down the left mouse button. That should do it. And remember to lock your taskbar after that! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/window-problem#post-36369 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:44:33 +0000 Lighthouse 36369@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I may be wrong. But I think that has something to do with the theme you are using. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/window-problem#post-36365 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:38:47 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 36365@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>i think that they actually stack on top of eachother then i get some buttons to scroll through the windows. </p> <p>in this screen shot i have 3 windows open but it only shows two.</p> <p><a href="http://s225.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/Gnar_Nate/?action=view&#38;current=screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/Gnar_Nate/screenshot.jpg"></a></p> <p>hope this helps and i kinda do want this fixed too it gets kinda annoying </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/window-problem#post-36271 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 09:22:45 +0000 whs 36271@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>jack, of my 4 Vistas I have 3 where they are on the left and 1 (from Gateway) where they are on the right. I never gave it any thought. And the size has to do with the available space. The more you have open, the smaller they get. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/window-problem#post-36265 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 08:09:58 +0000 ScottW 36265@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Jack, you are not making a lick of sense. How about a screen shot so we can see what you are talking about? Even if it's no big problem, I want to know what's going on and I might someday have a client who feels that it's a big problem. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/window-problem#post-36263 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 07:25:28 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 36263@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>its not the taskbar it's how the windows open. instead of them opening on the left side like they normally would but now they open up on the right side now and they seem to be smaller too. it's not really a big problem but it is kinda weird. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/window-problem#post-36260 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 04:50:27 +0000 ScottW 36260@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Jack, if it's the taskbar, you can drag-and-drop it to the bottom, the right, the top, or the left of the display. Sounds like maybe your is on the right. Note that you can only drag it when it's not locked. So drag it back to the bottom, or wherever you want it. Then right-click on it and check "Lock the Taskbar" so it won't go a-wandering again. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/window-problem#post-36258 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 04:30:12 +0000 Scott 36258@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>The tabs on the taskbar? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/window-problem#post-36241 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 02:15:14 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 36241@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>ok so i'm not really sure what i have done this tiime but the tabs that show you what windows you have open are now on the right side instead of the left side and they are really small. and i have no idea how to fix it. i just got vista today on my new laptop and still trying to figure every thing out still. </p>
