Width of the items in the task bar that represents the open windows

I usually have very little windows open at a time.  Despite this, the titles of the taskbar of these windows are truncated, because there is obviously a maximum width allowed for each item in the taskbar.  Due to this restriction, a lot of space is left unused on the right side of the taskbar (just to the left of the notification area).

Is there a way to remove the restriction on the width of these elements of the taskbar?

There is not, no.  It is coded in the shell (explorer.exe).  There is no external input value or registry that controls it.

  • Not maximizing the task bar when you click on Windows Explorer

    When I place the mouse on the icon of the program in the taskbar Windows Explorer the small preview window/s is displayed but will not maximize in a large window.  When I click on it or right click "optimize" on the spotted, that nothing is happening.

    In fact, probably we maximize or restore, but off the screen where you can not see.  This happened to me sometimes as well.

    Try this:

    1. hold SHIFT key and right-click on the icon in the task bar (or right click on the preview you did).
    2. choose the entrance to restore if it is not gray.
    3 hold down the SHIFT key and click again on the icon in the taskbar.
    4. now, choose the entry of moving.
    5. without doing anything else, press one of the arrow keys (for example, the arrow on the left) of the keyboard.
    6. without anything click, move the mouse.  Your window should appear on the screen.
    7. click on the mouse to move the window, then you can resize or other to be where you want.

    I suspect that this is a problem in several screen of Windows 7 support, and that the window actually believes that it is off on another monitor, even if you have no other active monitor.

  • Can I create a personal task bar that works like the quick launch area

    Windows 7 has just been put on my computer. I had Windows XP before and I loved the quick launch task bar. With this bullcrap "Pin to Taskbar" if I nailed everything I had in the quick launch area I wouldn't have room for anything else on the taskbar. Is it possible to create my own taskbar to bring all these links in? Or we can suggest to Microsoft that they give back one of the best things about XP instead of this "pine to." I couldn't find anywhere to give feedback to Microsoft.

    See if the information at these links are easier. It should be a wink to do.
     
     
     
     
  • Display problems are driving me crazy - when I click on a program already open in the task bar it does not open on the other open pages

    This happens if I click on a file or a file that is already open. The opened file will blink in the taskbar, but does not open on the top of any page is currently on the screen. When I click on previously open programs bring them on top as usual. Open another windows word file in the start menu did not appear at the top of the page currently open also. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    This happened after one of the three things - the upgrade of windows components, the advanced upgrade system of care or following a computer crash that preceded the front mentioned updates but I'm not sure that one.

  • How to make an image fill the width of the browser window?

    I placed an image to fill the width of the screen, but when I saw it, the image will not fill the width of the browser. (I can fill the width using fill from the browser, but I want only the width to fill the browser, not up to par.) I checked "Fill to browser width" in virtue of resize it, but that has no effect. Any suggestions?

    Make sure you have a fluid width for your site in the properties and then when you resize the I'mage on the edges of the page, use the drop resize and select stretch to the width of the browser.

    Marcy

    The taskbar is resizable, like a window. Place the cursor on the edge and stir slightly to make it turn into a two-headed arrow. Click on, and then drag it to the desired size.

    If it does not resize, it can be locked. In this case, do a right click on it and uncheck "Lock the taskbar", then try again.

    Also note that if you have toolbars in the taskbar on multiple lines, you will not be able to reduce the size of task bar less than the number of lines. First, put all the toolbars on one line.

    If you're still having problems, read the following from the ex - MVP Malke: "what is happening is that the end of 'margin' of the Quick Launch toolbar has got more to the right that it's now down below." Unlock the taskbar and then to 'capture' the dotted line on the lower bar (it will be a solid line if you use the classic style) and drag it up to immediately to the right of QuickLaunch icons. Now you have managed to make the shorter Quick Launch toolbar and can 'capture' the bar at the top of the taskbar and "push" down to the height of a regular level. »

  • 38.2.0 Linux Thunderbird does not width of the main window is normally paramèters

    Last update prevents the resizing to a width that corresponds to the main Thunderbird window screen. The minimum width seems to be limited to an abnormally high value, which means that it is impossible to get a normal screen. The width can be increased without problem.

    After further investigation, I found the cause of the problem.

    It was the FoxClocks addon v 4.0.2. v v 3.4.14.1 the previous works very well and allows the main Thunderbird window to be resized normally; v4.0.2 doesn't.

  • Some programs open new window instead of a new tab in the open window

    Firefox 17.0.1. I have the option "Open new windows in a new tab instead" together, I use the addon of Tree Style Tab 0.14.2012111201 (and other unrelated tabs or windows), and I have several profiles. It seems that since I started to use several profiles some programs (help of MediaMonkey, for instance) insist on opening a new window of Firefox. If I select one or several profiles currently open it says "Current usage profile". Some programs who want to open a website to view their help files open a tab in the current browser, as window expected and desired. But most programs cause choose it display a profile box.

    Make sure that you do not start Firefox with the - No.-remote switch or have defined the MOZ_NO_REMOTE = 1 environment variable (Control Panel > system > advanced > environment variables).

    If you need to have several open profiles at the same time then start the following instances with the - no - remote line switch.

    You can't send links from other programs to a Firefox instance that is started with the - non-interrupteur to distance.
    In this case, you must drag the links in a Firefox window or paste the link into the address bar.
