How do I move a toolbar using only arrow keys?
To the great gurus in the Microsoft discussion group...
I have a Windows XP SP 2 Pro. I have added two toolbars to the taskbar. These are basically just links to folders containing my own shortcuts. My taskbar is 3 rows high and I have sometimes been able to position these toolbars on top of each other. After reinstalling my Windows, I have been trying to position them like that again by dragging them with the mouse. However, it seems that the toolbars just do not want to move to the places I would like them in. So I came to think about it, is it possible to relocate a toolbar using just arrowkeys? thanks in advance JJ |
