Task Bar Tips

A TASK BAR THAT SHRANK OUT OF VIEW

A few times I've seen computers where it seems the Taskbar has vanished, due perhaps to a mouse button that stuck. When something like this happens you cannot use the mouse to get the task bar back and re-size it. What you have to do is get the Taskbar back into view by pressing the Ctrl and the Esc keys at once. Now if you press the Alt key and space bar at the same time, you get the Taskbar menu. You can select Size by typing the letter S and the Enter key; then use the Up arrow key in order to make the Taskbar larger. When you press the Enter key again, you will now have your Taskbar back in view.
