Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

NEED HELP WITH VISTA
Permalink  

Generally, I like Vista from Microsoft, but since it is fairly new there are not a lot of solutions available as there are for Windows.  That said, here is my problem:
while typing I somehow changed the "Taskbar" at the bottom of the screen so that the icons are very, very small.

I have tried to remedy this for about a week.  No luck.

If you know how to reverse this, please put me out of my misery.

Thank you. confusedconfusedconfusedconfusedconfusedconfused

Try this.

Right Click on the Taskbar, Unlock the Taskbar (De-select the 'Lock the Taskbar' option).
Then you can see the 'Resize Bars'.
Right Click on the Left Resize Bar, the one near the Start Orb.
Then from the Menu, select 'View' and then 'Large Icons'.
That's it, There you can see the Large Quick Launch Icons...
Again, Lock the Taskbar.

Let me if this works for you.

Well, I found the Resize bars after all.  That didn't solve all of my problem.  I kind of remember seeing a drop down or pop up menu when I caused this problem that said something about classic view or some such thing.  Obviously, I guessed wrong and changed the look of the bottom task bar.

When I click on the orb I no longer see the farily large pop up menu that includes "Recent Items".  I think once I can get this menu back my screen will look the way I liked it before I messed it up.  I hope.

Got any suggestions?

Thanks for your good help so far.

Try the right-click on the large orb and choose PROPERTIES. Click the START MENU tab and switch to the one not selected and see if that returns you to the look you prefer.
