My vertical task bar won't stay the right size, that is, very thin.

I'm running Win7 Pro x64 on a laptop.  I have my taskbar set on the left side.  I have small icons enabled, but the taskbar retains it's large-icon size, so it's large enough for two small icons to be side-by-side.  On a few random occasions, it will be the small size I want it at, but even if I lock it, it goes back to being wide.  Any help?
