Taskbar won't resize

Question: I want to resize my Taskbar to make it double in height, but even though I get the two-headed arrow, I can’t resize it upward.

Answer: You have a window maximized on your screen or you have all your windows stacked, which fills up the screen. The Taskbar can only expand if there is room for it to do so, so minimize any full screen windows before you try to resize the Taskbar.

I'm having the same problem. There are no open windows. THere's nothing on the screen that would prevent the task bar from re-sizing. I suspect a Windows bug that sets a registry value to prevent re-sizing.

My taskbar can only be resized to either double line or not visible. What can I try?
