    How do I change the width of just the pinned icons in the taskbar


    How do I change the width of just the pinned icons in the taskbar, and not mess with the size of the programs that I have open?
    Currently all my pinned icons are huge, and are about a 1/4 of the way across the task bar.

    Right Click on the task bar & select Properties, on the window that opens tick Use Small Icons which is under the Task Bar tab, then select Apply & see if the results suit you.

    First option changes the icon width in the task bar for open windows, not the icon size in the pinned taskbar.

    Second option I have already done

    Third option, not what I am looking to do.

    This website may help you. One of the methods requires changing some items in the Registry so do exercise care. It would be a good idea to back up the Registry before you do anything.
