Windows XP forum: How do I make task bar icons larger?

I made mine small again when I found out how to make them bigger. I went to Control Panel, Then to Display and there is an Advanced to click on under the Appearance Tab. When you get there, click on the minimize, x and make larger icons and it will display caption buttons and all you have to do is resize them to a larger number or scroll down the list to caption buttons. everything is listed in there including different settings for toolbars, icons the way you want fonts under the icons, etc. Enjoy!!

bigdaddya, Here's another way. Unlock your Taskbar and to the right of the Start button you'll see a perforated verticle line, put your cursor(pointer)just to the right of that perforated verticle line and right click, choose View and choose Large Icons. After doing this Lock the Taskbar again.

bigdaddya, To get the View option right click your Taskbar,put your pointer over Toolbars and checkmark Quick Launch. Then right click the Taskbar again and uncheck Lock the Toolbars. Go over to the left aside of your Start button and right click directly to the right(just about touching it)of the perforated verticle line and you should see the View option at the top. You will not get the View option if the Quick Launch is unchecked. I'm glad to see that the other option worked for you and this option should also work.
