Is it possible to change width of notification tray area on Windows 2008 server?

1

I have a particular setup where a specific program installed gets minimized to the notification area. I would like this to always be visible (along with several others). Regardless of whether I hide notifcations for certain programs, the system chooses not display a particular one unless I click on the double chevron up arrow. Is there a way to just force the tray area to larger size?

You can tick the checkbox Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar to show them all, and as far as I know it doesn't have a maximum size (if it doesn't fit however, make the taskbar bigger in height to fit more icons).

The checkbox can be found by clicking on the double chevron up arrow > Customize > at the bottom of the window

OR

Start > Control Panel > Notification Area Icons

This seems to be the best approach - change it to "always show all icons",which makes the notification area much bigger. Then turn off "always show", and turn on the ones that you want to see - the larger notification area remains. – SomeoneElse – 2019-09-20T13:36:35.840
