By default the Taskbar Icons appear in a large format.

While many people do not bother about the size of
these taskbar icons, there are many who prefer them to be
slightly smaller.
To be honest, we always find that smaller icons look much
neater than the larger icons; therefore we always set the
taskbar option to use the smaller version of icons.
To display smaller versions of the taskbar icons, proceed
as follows.
- Right click on a vacant area of the Taskbar.
- From the menu that appears, click on Properties.

small taskbar buttons and place a check mark (tick) in
the box to the left of the option.
