Windows 7 - How to make taskbar "Tab" wider?
location:
7forums.com - date:
June 30, 2012
Hi everyone. Just reinstalled Windows 7 64bit on my new Crucial m4 SSD. However....
I have my taskbar set to never combine so that there's no icons.
My previous install of Windows 7, I found a registry hack where I can make the "Tabs" on the taskbar wider. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I found a million threads on how to make the icons bigger and the auto preview bigger.
What I'm looking for:
Example:I want my taskbar to show
|Windows 7 Forums - Post New Thread - Mozilla Firefox|
instead of
|Windows 7 Foru|
Thank you!

Windows 7 is forgetting my Hide Desktop Icons setting
location:
7forums.com - date:
February 1, 2010
I like to use the Desktop folder to save items temporarily, but I keep a clean desktop background with no icons displayed. This option is accessed by right clicking the desktop and deselecting View>Show Desktop Icons. I've been doing this since I was using Windows Vista. My problem is that now my Windows 7 OS never remembers this setting. Whenever I turn my computer on the icons have reappeared. Additionally, when I go to deselect the option, I have to do it twice for it to take effect. Is this a known bug? It's really annoying, especially when there may be things on the desktop you don't want others to see when you login.

Using Windows 7, how do I run CHKDSK?
location:
microsoft.com - date:
February 27, 2011
I've searched throughout the Control Panel and it's submenus and options but can find no means to initiate a scan for disk errors!
I did find chkdsk.exe in the Windows\System32 folder but when I double click it, the only response is a flash of the DOS {black, command prompt} screen! Is that the correct response?!
Is there no way to run [schedule] a scan disk [for errors] as there has been in earlier versions of Windows?!
