I'm looking for a way to adjust the size of the area where pinned programs sit on the taskbar.In WinXP with the quick launch, we had the ability to resize the area & additional icons would either show when the >> button was pressed or would display on multiple lines if the taskbar was resized.just can't figure out how to tackle this in windows 7
View 3 RepliesJust installed Windows 7 Professional on my laptop and it seems that I cannot resize the length of the quicklaunch in the taskbar. I've unlocked the taskbar, but the right toolbar sizing handle doesn't show. Any thought on this one?I have quite enough icons so I should be able to do the resizing.Here is a microsoft tutorial that explains how to do it : Show or hide icons in the taskbar but it doesn't help.

I downloaded a portable tweaking app from here and the window opens larger than my display so that the bottom of the window (where the buttons to "apply" the tweaks are) is off the screen. The maximize button is grayed out and no moving handles appear when I move the cursor to the window borders. I cannot find a way to maximize the window or resize it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 has been released for one month, many computer users have upgraded from old Windows version or installed Windows 7. Yes, new features of Windows 7 are wonderful, but there is a common problem Windows 7 users should pay attention to – partition size.
If you have installed Windows 7, you may find that the system partition free space become lower and lower, as basic Windows 7 installation requirement is 16GB and you have to install many other application. How to solve this problem? Backup all files, delete all partition, recreate partitions, restore? No, what a time-consuming job. Why not resize Windows 7 partition without so much complex works?
If you get ready for Windows 7, you'd better resize the system partition to be large enough and it will solve many problems after you installed Windows 7.

I'm using a Thinkpad T420s, dual booting Windows 7 and Fedora 16. However, prior to me installing F16, I used Disk management to shrink the Windows partition. Well...it turns out I shrunk it *way* too small and I'm barely able to use it. Under Disk Management, even if I create unallocated space, it still will not let me re-size my windows partition. I think this is because the partitions are in the wrong order...but I don't know what to do about it.
Disk management shows four partitions as follows from left to right:
| SYSTEM_DRV (1.46 GB, Primary) | Windows7_OS (67.47 GB, Primary, Boot) | (500 MB, Primary) | (76.63 GB, Primary) <--Fedora 16 |
No matter what I do, I cannot click "Extend Volume" on my Windows 7 partition. I would experiment and use certain bootable partition tools, but I'm afraid I'm going to mess with GRUB and I won't be able to boot either one of my OS's..
I am running W7 pro 64-bit. I have just installed a 1TB drive from another machine, which already had some onfo on it which I wanted to keep. I shrank the disk- using Disk Management- to create 2 partitions. Is it possible to un-shrink the disk?

I have "show windows contents while dragging" enabled. I have Windows classic theme, but I asked a friend with the default Windows 7 theme and he has the same problem.
I don't remember having this problem before re-installing Windows 7 and I have the same chipset/video drivers.
I resized a partition (the boot partition) using gparted off a linux boot disk (should be the same as any other program, though) after removing a backup partition which was never used. I rebooted the computer, and it ran startup repair. After startup repair had finished, I rebooted again. This time it boots into windows and gets to the login screen. I can log in, but it comes up with "welcome", followed by "preparing your desktop". It then loads a temporary profile. From there, I tried to load the control panel to load system so I could input the product key, but it wouldn't load the control panel because of an error I can't remember - but it displayed something like this: "{random nums and letters}"how to make it boot from a permenant account?
PS. I have access to command prompt as admin, and regedit. Also, I have another windows partition which I might be able to boot from. I also have a linux bootable CD, if that helps (can move around files from there)
