[Question] Taskbar resize registry key

[straytoasters]

I am wanting to reset the taskbar size via .reg entry. I am not looking for how to lock/unlock the taskbar (I know that key), most searches on this returns how to lock/unlock. I am needing the entry that sets the taskbar at 1TB high, 2TB high, 3TB high etc. And no its not that I am too lazy to just grab and expand the taskbar I want to add this to a .reg that changes 30-40 different things when I login. Thank you.

Expermented and got my answer...

To set to 2x TB

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2]
"Settings"=hex:28,00,00,00,ff,ff,ff,ff,02,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,6b,00,00,00,40,\
  00,00,00,00,00,00,00,c0,03,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,04,00,00

To set to 1x TB (normal size)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2]
"Settings"=hex:28,00,00,00,ff,ff,ff,ff,02,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,6b,00,00,00,22,\
  00,00,00,00,00,00,00,de,03,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,04,00,00

You then have to restart the shell, here is a .vbs I used to kill and restart explorer.exe

Set WshShell = Nothing

On Error GoTo 0

For Each Process in GetObject("winmgmts:"). _
	ExecQuery ("select * from Win32_Process where name='explorer.exe'")
   Process.terminate(0)
Next

Note the stuckrects2 values are only set in the registry upon shutdown...thus if you want a 3x TB (or on the top or side I guess) you have to set the TB the way you want it, reboot, then grab the stuckrects2 value.
