    Taskbar icons won't stay at three rows high.


    This has been a problem forever and I've not found any successful fixes.

    The taskbar is at the bottom with three rows of icons. It's locked, but frequently the taskbar changes to one or two rows.

    How can I prevent the taskbar changing constantly? Thanks for any help

    Allow for 2 rows of icons in taskbar?


    Wondering if this feature still exists in Windows10 and how to accomplish it.

    Back in Win7, I could unlock the taskbar and make it wider. This allowed me to drop more icons into the taskbar and would allow me to have two rows of icons.

    With Win10 I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this. I follow the same steps, but it centers the icons in the middle of the wider task bar and then will run the icons down so you have to scroll to see the rest of them.

    Any way I can set it up to act like it did in Win7?

    ThrottleStop 8.60 Stays in Taskbar

    Hello!

    I have an issue with ThrottleStop 8.60 (And 8.50U) staying in the taskbar when minimizing and not going to the notification area. The notification icon is there but it is always in the taskbar too. If I check 'Minimize on Close it still stays in the taskbar. Is this a bug or does anyone know how to get it off my taskbar and only in the notification bar?

    Thanks!!!

    Allow for 2 rows of icons in taskbar?


    Hi Brink, thanks for the welcome.

    locking/unlocking and adjusting the height/width of the taskbar is easy enough to do. But the issue I'm looking into is how to allow for 2 rows of icons within the taskbar.
    I don't have a Win7 machine available right now to snapshot for you, but in Win7 you could create multiple rows of icons within the taskbar. (I did find an image on Google close enough to reference)

    Within Win10, we seem to have lost that feature. It appears that I can only have a single row of icons that will make you continue scrolling in a single line across the taskbar.

    I'm just wondering if there's a way to allow multiple rows of icons in the taskbar again in Win10
