1. When the pointer turns into a double-headed arrow 
, click it, and then drag the toolbar sizing handle to show or hide more or less of the toolbar.
If you can’t change the toolbar, it’s either as small as it gets, or there’s not enough room on the taskbar to show more of it.
To show and hide icons in the notification area
Remove icons from the notification area (system tray)
The notification area is located on the taskbar and contains program icons that provide status and notifications about things like incoming e‑mail, updates, and network connectivity. When you install a new program, you can sometimes add an icon for that program to the notification area.
New computers often come with icons already in the notification area, and some programs automatically add an icon to the notification area during installation.
