Default Quick Launch

How can I expand the quick launch toolbar? When I added an item to it I
already had several windows open on the taskbar so it pushed it up to where
I have to click the chevrons (>>) to get at any items beond the first
three. I would like more of them to show but I don't see any way to
"stretch" it.

If there is no vertical bar to the right of the Quick Launch area, right
click the Taskbar and uncheck Lock Taskbar. Then you'll see the vertical
bar. Hover over this with your mouse, left click and drag.

Move the separator bar to the right.

No separator bar is visible. I will try the other poster's suggestion.
