At least on Vista, you could get to an advanced pane that gave you control over the dumb defaults. In 7 I can't find any way to do this. And as great as the task bar is' it has some fairly rookie problems. When it fills, the icon blocks should shrink (like object dock) instead of scrolling uselessly like they do. And the systray icon management interface obviously didn't go through enough real life usability testing. My couple gripes:
