Windows 10: Windows10 Taskbar display: text with icons; Start icon too far to left-partially obscured.

Thanks in advance for all your help.


Somehow I've messed up the way the task bar is displayed. I now have a text string after the app icon - partial with a string of periods after an abbreviated description of each browser/ application. In addition the start button is just barely visible on the left. The application icons and some general function icons look to me as though they're occupying more horizontal space than they used to. In some cases, my app screens take up more horizontal space than used to.


Any help will be greatly!! appreciated.
