Hi Gilzean, and thanks for your reply! I have tried resizing the taskbar, and toggling auto-hide on and off. However, I stumbled on something else... If I move a vertical line of icons (at least three icons one above the other), the bottom one lines up properly above the taskbar!??? So for now, I have lined up my bottom icons with this method, then moved the ones above to their rightful place. But I then have to turn off align to grid to keep them there. Weird, no?
