I gather this can be done with a simple registry tweak.
I Googled: windows "task bar" button size
and the second item was:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
which provides 4 vbs scripts which:
- increase the Task Bar button size
- undo that increase
- decrease the Task Bar button size
- undo that decrease
The 2 undo scripts are identical, setting MinWidth to -2310
which must be the default setting I assume.
The Increase and Decrease scripts are also identical except
they set MinWidth to -285 (small) or -2700 (increase).
So it looks like you can use only one of the .vbs scripts
and simply edit the line: n = "-2310"
depending what minimum button width you desire.
So I'll only paste one complete .vbs script here:
;;----- TaskBarButtonSize.vbs ------------------
Option Explicit
Dim WSHShell, n, p, itemtype, MyBox
Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
p = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\"
p = p & "MinWidth"
itemtype = "REG_SZ"
n = "-285"
WSHShell.RegWrite p, n, itemtype
MyBox = MsgBox("You must reboot for the changes to take effect.",
vbOKOnly,"Done")
;;------ end of vbs -----------------------------
OR
Instead of using any vbs script, just use Regedit,
browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\
in the right panel there might be a value named MinWidth.
If not add it by right click > New > String Value.
Set it to anything between -285 and -2700
(-2310 is Windows default)
