When Windows 7 came out in the market, with all the new features Microsoft made a lot of innovations in the look of this OS. My first contact with Windows 7 was in September 2009, so in the beginning it was very difficult to me to get familiar with it, because untill that time I was a huge fan of Windows XP. For a short period of time I really fell in love with Windows 7, but the one thing that was annoying to me was the big and ugly taskbar. So I needed to rearrange it and I gained the desired look. So in this quick tutorial I’m going to show you how to transform your Windows 7 taskbar to look like the taskbar in Windows XP.

HOW TO DO IT?
1. Right-click on the taskbar and select Properties.
The Taskbar and StarMenu Properties window will appear.
2. In the current tab (Taskbar) at the Taskbar appearance section check the Use small icons box and at the Taskbar buttons dropdown menu select Never combine (see the picture below).
After this you will get the new Windows XP like taskbar with the following look.
