I agree. What idiot took the ability away to resize the toolbar? It doesn't hamper performance, doesn't mess with any apps, and doesn't lessen security.

2023-05-28T06:15:49+00:00 it should i'm not real sure it should. i'm not real sure. I use dual monitors but I use Display Fusion to control my taskbar on the 2nd one so all you can do is try it and see and it's a free small registry file & I have not had any problems have been using Explorer Patcher on my New Windows 11 pro since end of last July
