    Objects in Taskbar resize dynamically.


    The objects in my taskbar take up the full space of it, is there a way for me 2 have it the way it used to be. The objects used 2 take only a predetermined amount of space in the taskbar. It randomly started doing this after my explorer froze, i restarted my computer but the problem persists.

    *Edit* Thanks guys i tried the system restore as a last resort and it worked, was really trying to avoid it.

    Old Taskbar


    I skimmed this article at https://www.sevenforums.com/software/13035-7-free-windows-7-tweaking-utilities.html and it might have some software where you can download to restore the original taskbar and then "unpin" the items that are on your current task bar.

    I have also read that there **might** a registry hack to get the original taskbar back. Try doing a Google search for "Windows 7 Taskbar Hacks."

    Hope that helps,

I first noticed this issue when I disabled shadows under the cursor and other screen elements, after which I resized the taskbar to test my theory of what was going on. In the attached screenshot, you'll notice that the transparent background of the taskbar extends far beyond the taskbar itself....
