How to Change the Height or Width of the Taskbar on Windows 10

Windows 10 Logo

Did you know Windows 10's taskbar can be resized? With a few clicks, you can make it even taller, giving you more room for application shortcuts. If you're using a vertical taskbar, you can make it wider.

First, Unlock the Taskbar

To resize the taskbar, we need to unlock it. Right click on the taskbar and locate the option called "Lock The Taskbar" in the list. If that option has a checkmark beside it, click on it. If there is no checkmark, then you're good to go.

Select Lock the Taskbar in Windows 10

With your taskbar unlocked, you are now free to resize or even move it to the left, right, or top edge of your screen.

How to Change the Height of the Taskbar

It's easy to make your taskbar taller in Windows 10 by resizing it—as long as your taskbar is unlocked.

First, position your mouse cursor on the edge of the taskbar. The pointer cursor will change into the resize cursor, which looks like a short vertical line with an arrow head on each end.

How to Change the Width of the Taskbar

To change the width of the taskbar in Windows 10, your taskbar must be in a vertical orientation, and it must be unlocked.

If your taskbar is not already vertical, click on it and drag your mouse cursor to the left or right edge of the screen.

DeepCool launches frameless RGB fans that you can control over Wi-Fi

You can use your smartphone to adjust the speed and lighting of these fans.   Fans are not overly complicated for fancy devices. They have blades that spin and push (or pull) air, and some of them light up. DeepCool has taken things a step further, however, by designing frameless RGB smart fan set that hooks into your wireless network. DeepCool's new MF120 set comes with three fans and a controller for them to plug into to. Using a free app that is available for Android and iOS, you can then connect to the controller and cycle through five built-in lighting effects (dynamic, static, breathing, comet, and fashion collision) and 36 interchangeable lighting modes, and also adjust the speed. We're not sure there is a whole lot of utility for controlling your case's fans with your smartphone, but if that's something you want to do, there you go. The fans themselves are uniquely designed. They're frameless in the sense that they don't sit enclosed in a traditional fra...

How to Zip (and Unzip) Files on Windows 10

The ZIP file format reduces the size of files by compressing them, saving disk space, and reducing network transfer times. It also allows you to combine several files into a single one that's easy to share with others. Here's how to zip and unzip files on Windows 10. How to Create a Zip File (Compressed Folder) First, open File Explorer and locate the files or folders you'd like to compress and combine into a Zip file. Windows refers to a Zip file as a "compressed folder," so the terms are interchangeable in this case. We'll be using a group of image files as an example, but you can zip any type of file. If it's a single file or folder you'd like to compress, right-click it and a menu will pop up. Click "Send to," and then click "Compressed (Zipped) Folder." You can also select multiple files or folders in Explorer, and then follow the same steps above to compress them simultaneously. Windows compresses the fi...
