That's all there is to it! Vista users may want to extend the width of the Taskbar to better see the labels for programs that are running. But Windows 7 can keep the Taskbar its naturally narrow self, as that OS doesn't have running-program labels anyway.

Indeed, I think the "side Taskbar" works better in Windows 7 than in any previous version of the OS. But regardless, if you have a system with a widescreen monitor, give this a try for a couple days and see if you don't really like the change. (If you don't, you can always drag the Taskbar back to the bottom.)

I'll be waiting here for you to thank me.
