I checked some of those reg binarys...
anyone under IE keys are not consistent.
can't trust it.

under streams\desktop is info about quicklaunch and such so abandoned that one.
under stucrects2 (stucted rectangles?) there is change that caught my eye.
changing the taskbar in height of 1,2,3,4 and five lines returned:
30,55,80,105,130

I think this is the entry.
if you look at it in regedit it's third line and fifth element.
can't post image now since using linux.

if someone could check this out and verify this is giving the same value for them.
I'll then make it into nice little udf!

cheers,
