Believe it or not, eb0ny, that's how the button looks. It certainly is a rare sight to see a
button that can have a persistent "
enabled"
setting, but that's how the accessibility wizard manages to update your screen appearance in real-time as you tinker with the settings.
I knew somebody would try to guess it.
Pekka is correct. When the taskbar is unlocked, two types of sizing handles appear: Zigzag dotted grips for changing the width of each part of the taskbar, and a skinny horizontal bar across the top for changing the height of the taskbar.
My picture is impossible because it only has the handle for changing height; I removed the dotted grips between the sections.
Or, more accurately, I took a screenshot of the screen with the taskbar locked and then doctored in the height bar and the cursor.
Interesting fact:

×I needed to use special means to get the cursor in the screenshot. This is because PrntScrn snapshots don't include the cursor, yet I needed the vertical-resizing cursor to be there or else you could easily overlook the sizing handle for height (which would make my puzzle too hard).
So the screenshot I doctored the handle in from was actually from a video. I unlocked the taskbar, opened CamStudio, put my cursor in position to resize the toolbar, and recorded a brief full-screen capture video that included the mouse. When I doctored the handle bar and the cursor into the first picture, I got them from a screenshot of that video.
By the way, the search I was thinking of was "
xp taskbar resize"
. You don't get any really good examples quickly from that search, but if you clicked on "
more from coolnerds"
or "
more from Microsoft"
(images 1 and 3), there's a good one right near the top of each.
