Windows 10: Names on my Applications

Earlier yesterday i experienced a change in my taskbar to where the names of the applications were showing up on the taskbar which made the applications 5x larger, I went into settings and did the "Combine taskbar buttons" and i put that on "Always hide labels" which fixed it on my primary screen. The problem im experiencing is that the application names are still showing up on my secondary screen and i cant find a way to turn those off. Whenever i do that through settings it only ever works on my main screen so If anyone knows how i can fix this with both screens that would be very helpful.

Windows 10 search for a specific folder name and file name

Carlos: Thanks for your reply. What you suggest is what I have been doing. I search for folders with a specific name and get a list. Then I have to search each folder for a specific file. So it's a two step search and that's what I was trying to avoid.

I assume there are applications out there that allow for an "AND" search in Windows. I'll try that approach.

Thanks, again.
