Stupid taskbar question
Somehow, my kids moved the taskbar from the bottom of the desktop to the side, and made it wider than it once was. I have tried every intuitive method I could think of to drag it back where it belongs, but no luck. Can someone help?
Thanks, s. |

I have tried every intuitive method I could think of to drag it back where it belongs, but no luck. Can someone help? Task Bar Location: Note that the bottom is *not* "where it belongs." Although by default the task bar appears on the bottom of the screen, it can be on any of the sides you prefer it on. To move it from any side to another, simply click on an unused part of it and drag it where you want it. Be sure to click *within* it, not on the edge; clicking on the edge and dragging will resize it. If it won't move, it may be locked. In that case, right click on it and uncheck "Lock the taskbar," then try again. Task Bar Size: The task bar is resizable, like a window. Put the cursor on the edge and make it turn into a double-headed arrow. Then click and drag it to the size you want. If it won't resize, it may be locked. In that case, right click on it and uncheck "Lock the Taskbar," Then try again. Also note that if you have toolbars on the task bar on multiple lines, you won't be able to reduce the task bar size to fewer than that number of lines. Put all the toolbars on one line first. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
