'Use Small Icons' fails to remain that way across reboots/logins
I desire the StartBar to remain at a small/thin size and have only the time displayed, not the stacked double-height date/time.
At StartMenu --> ControlPanel --> TaskBar and Start Menu, I select the check box for 'Use small icons', I select Apply and OK. The Start Bar dutifully shrinks to the correct size and the data/time simplifies down to just displaying the time. But only during this booted/login session.
However, this fails to remain this way across log-outs and reboots.
So, just previous to this...I'd recently shipped my Dell Alienware M18xR1 back to Dell for maintenance (they replaced the dying NVidia graphics cards). In the process, as they told me they would, they reinstalled the OS from scratch, and did all the default Windows updates. I'd previously saved all my data. I've gotten my laptop back, have been tailoring it, configuring the OS, reinstalling my apps and restoring my data. When I first got the laptop back, and during my initial tailoring, it was not doing this behavior. But, somehow, somewhere along the way that part of Windows 7 has seemingly gotten corrupted.
I'd really like help in getting this resolved. Insights are most welcome!
Thank you.
