can't get icons to wrap on Win 7

Hi again Yuri...

A question related to the, above, original post... Sort of hard for me to explain:

Windows apparently likes to have a margin at the left of its taskbars...
If I unlock my bar, I can slide the 'grab handle' to the left so far that it looks like some of the icons will be hidden, as indicated by the little white >> to the right of the Excel icon. When I lock the bar though, it crams the icons in there and displays them (see bottom of image; where Chrome and IE are showing). I find that this allows me to make the bar as narrow as possible and optimize space. For some reason I am not able to do this space-saving trick with the bar that has the large icons though.... As a result, when I lock the bars, there is a wasted empty space between the large and small icon bars. (There is enough room there for another column of small icons!)



I tried the tips you posted above, but they did work. Is there a way to "smash over" my large-icon-bar so it's narrower?
Did I explain that question coherently? Thanks.
