toolbar to avioid going to the desktop or start menu to open them. all of a suddes the setting changed and everything but photoshop is behind arrow. now i must click the arrow, scroll down and click on the program. it's driving me crazy that i can't figure out how to set it back, get rid of the arrow. thanks. |

Change the settings on the Options tab of Tools | Customize. For menus, you
need to disable "Menus show recently used items first" or enable "Always show full menus" (depending on version); for toolbars, you may have to show the toolbars on two rows to accomplish this (check "Show Standard and Formatting toolbars on two rows" or clear "Standard and Formatting toolbars share one row"). -- Suzanne S.

Okay, you're not talking about Word at all. You're talking about the Quick
Launch bar on the Taskbar in Windows. Hover your mouse over the divider just to the right of the arrows and drag to the right to increase the width of the QL bar. If that does not solve your problem, then you will need to ask your question in a Windows NG rather than follow up here. -- Suzanne S.
