    Hi guys,
    I have an issue with windows 7's taskbar and the automatically icons enlarging by themselves.
    When I do to personalize > windows color > advance appearance settings > Icons.
    and I change the size of the icons down to 18 size.

    The icons look fine as if nothing were wrong with them.

    If I leave it like that for a good 20 minutes all of a sudden, the entire taskbar get about 10 pixel bigger with larger icons and larger texts!

    What is going on?

    Is anyone experiencing this issue?

    Below is an image I captured when the icons are normal and when they are enlarged for some weird reason!

    notice how the icon and text size are enlarged!

    Have you tried right click taskbar - properties, "use small icons"?
