Quicklaunch bar Enlarge and resize it

The default size of the Quicklaunch bar in Window XP is quite restrictive when lock the taskbar is selected.

It can only display three icons without forcing you to click on an arrow to extend it.

Fortunately, it is easy enough to extend the Quicklaunch bar and by moving it to another location it is even larger.

In order to do this:‐

Right click on a free area of the taskbar and uncheck the ʹLock The Taskbarʹ menu item.

Then click on the pattern of dots that appears just to the right of the start button, and drag to the right to increase the size

Or to move the quick launch bar out of the taskbar.

Drag the Quicklaunch bar to one of the edges of the screen and release it so that it forms a bar.

Right click the new Quicklaunch bar and select ʹAlways On Topʹ and ʹAuto‐Hide.ʹ

Now you have a convenient Quicklaunch bar that hides itself when not needed, and can hold all your shortcuts with ease.
