    2. Ok, these answers makes no sense to me. I am trying to find the regedit to adjust the WIDTH of the task bar (win7), and I keep getting the same instructions as these: “Right click on a blank space on the right pane, select New, then String Value. Name the new string value as MinWidth. ” And then some suggestions on what numerical width should be. HOW are you going to go into a registry branch where the object you are trying to effect is not mentioned ANYWHERE, like not even once, and enter a brand NEW key, with again, NO mention of the item you’re looking for, and out of all the OTHER object references and sizes, you are going to enter this “anonymous” object size-reference key, and the computer is going to figure out somehow what that means????
