Hi,

I was just wondering if it is at all possible to alter the height of the taskbar in Windows 7? On Windows Vista I had made my taskbar thinner to be about the same size as the taskbar in Windows 98 etc.

I cannot remember how I did it, but I was just wondering if it is possible to do the same in windows 7?

Yes I have, I've done both to get it as thin as possible from that, still isn't the same though.. :)

If you are already using the small icons in taskbar appearance, you cannot make the taskbar any smaller than this size.
