Enlarge Quick Launch Toolbar Icons in Windows 7
Well, this is one small and simple tip, I bet you may have missed. To those of you who find the quick launch bar icons too small for their comfort, there is a simple way by which you can make them larger.
First, right-click on the taskbar and unlock it. Having done that, move your cursor to a blank area on the Quick Launch bar. The quick launch bar is the area between the two vertical, almost-invisible dotted lines near your start button on the left-hand side.
Right-click in this area, and you will see the context menu appear. If you don’t unlock the taskbar, you won’t get to see this menu. Here, select View > Large Icons.
Your Quick Launch bar will now show large icons. The taskbar will double in height and enclose the start orb. Your Tab buttons and System Tray icons will, however, remain the same size.
If you wish to add text to these icons, simply select the Show Text option too.
Lock the Task Bar after you have finished your customizations.
