So had my work PC rebuilt and it now has Windows 7 Mad

First problem: the icons in the taskbar wider than a pregnant hippo.
How can I narrow them? I'm already using "small icons"

I hate this POS. Give me XP back any day!!!!!

Adjust your resolution. My tray icons are very small.

Windows 7 is very good actually. I loved Windows XP, but there's nothing wrong with Win 7 once you work through it.

You're not wrong there. The icons ARE smaller but distance between them is still too large, kinda stupid really HiHi

Done. But even that pissed me off Laughing
Why is there a massive f*cking windows logo in the top right corner? Mad
I know I'm using windows because I logged into it myself.
