Provide a warning about what cannot be easily undone

Open Stuart88 opened this issue 2 years ago • 7 comments

Feature description

The icons on my taskbar are now way too small, stupidly small, and there is no way to undo it unless I go for the 'Restore Defaults' option which is far too drastic as my machine was already mostly tuned to how I want it.

A cursory google tells me I need to go and edit resgistry keys.

I know you mean well with this software and it's pretty great overall, but I am not happy at all with how easy it is to click through all the options and end up with things that cannot be easily undone.

you can fix with regedit. Go to this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced In right-side pane, right-click on empty area and select “New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value” option. Set the new DWORD name as TaskbarSi and set its value to any of following:

Set the value to 0 to make the Taskbar Small Set the value to 1 to make the Taskbar Medium which is the default normal size of Taskbar Set the value to 2 to make the Taskbar Large

Yes, I am aware of that.

It doesn't help with the fact that the software "conveniently" modifies registry settings but does not provide any way to conveniently reverse the ones you don't want.

I have no idea if that restores everything, or just the things that are checked at that time, or only the things that were previously checked when first running the program.

There's no way I'm going to click a button that simply says "restore defaults" for my entire operating system.
