Why Is My Taskbar So Thick 4,2/5 7474 reviews

I used to set my taskbar on the left, now I've put it back to the bottom, but it seems not to have ajusted well. It is too wide. If I change the icon size it doesn't help.

In windows 7 there was a 'bug' which allowed you to shrink the taskbar when in a vertical position so that it was as narrow as the 'small icons' - i.e. it looked like this: http://i.imgur.com/G2yfr1a.png. instead of this: http://i.imgur.com/6gU9fil.png

In Windows 8 the bug has been 'fixed' and you can no longer use the same method.

  • To clarify, a thick, vertical taskbar that doesn’t auto-hide consumes a considerable amount of screen real estate. As outlined earlier, you could auto-hide the taskbar in order to resolve this problem.
  • If the quicklaunch is the toolbar which is too wide/thick, you need to grab its vertical dots edge and drag it so that the QL is on one level. If the QL is configured into two levels 'fat', you can't make the taskbar thinner than that.

Does anyone know:

  1. A way to get it back, the thick taskbar looks fugly, or

  2. An alternative launcher that would be able to do the same thing?

Thanks in advance

Windows 10 Taskbar Too Tall

Hello,
First off, my computer specs are:
Lenovo Ideapad Y580
GTX 660M Graphics
Intel quad core 3630 qm processor
1 TB 5400 RPM HDD
8 GB RAM
Windows 8
Within the past couple of months, my laptop has gotten extremely slow, to the point where it takes several minutes on startup before I can do anything with the laptop. When I bought it, it ran amazingly fast. Now it is frustratingly slow.
When I look at the task manager, it shows my disk activity at a constant 100%, even when there is only about .5 MB/s of activity going on. The fans are constantly running full speed, and, as an example of how slow it is going, loading a game of League of Legends takes about 3 minutes whereas when I bought it, I would be first to load in, usually in about 15-20 seconds.
Skype seems to be suspicious, as when I have it installed, the disk activity is at a constant 100%. On startup, my Avira Antivirus Free also seems to be a culprit, reaching 4-5 Mb/s (relatively a lot compared to everything else in the task manager, I don't know a whole lot about computers so I'm not sure whether or not this is a high activity).
Does anyone have any suggestions or useful tips on this? I have already done a full disk scan with my antivirus and no viruses were found. My friend suggested that maybe the hard drive was going bad, but I only bought it less than a year ago, and if that is the case then I'd have to send it in to Lenovo which isn't ideal since I need it for college.
Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to respond. I have a very busy day tomorrow, so if I don't reply tomorrow then I will over the weekend.
EDIT: More info, the Read/Write speed in the Performance tab of Task Manager is, 0/300 Kb/s on average, idling. And this is still 100% activity.
