Resize Your Taskbar

With all the icons that can be added to your taskbar, it can get awfully crowded down there. With that in mind, you can make changes that will allow for it. This is a very simple skill (although it can take some time to figure out where exactly to put your pointer).

To increase the size of your taskbar, simply put your mouse pointer over the top edge (provided your taskbar is on the bottom of the screen) of the taskbar. Your pointer should change to double arrows (pointing away from each other). This means that your computer is ready to resize the taskbar. Now, click and drag your taskbar as far up as you would like it. You can make the taskbar up to half the size of the screen. Once you get to a point that is good, let go. That is all there is to it. Decreasing the size is the same (drag down instead of up, of course).
