just now (366+ words) Big icons hogging your taskbar? Shrink them down with this Windows 11 tweak. On Windows 11, you can now switch to smaller Taskbar icons, and in this guide, I'll explain how the feature works and how to enable it. Earlier versions of the operating system offered a "Use small Taskbar buttons" setting, but that option disappeared when Windows 11 launched. Microsoft has now brought the feature back, though its behavior has changed. Previously, enabling small icons also reduced the Taskbar's height. On Windows 11, only the icon size changes, and the Taskbar remains the same height. This update isn't designed to free up vertical space.

Smaller icons allow the bar to hold more pinned or running apps, which is especially useful on systems with limited screen width…...

Among those rounded up and deported have been veterans of the U.S. military, the parents of…...
