Default Reluctant Taskbar

After reinstallation of Windows, I unlocked the taskbar, but I cannot move
the two dotted lines and consequently cannot drag to or copy and paste the
icons I want there. Can anyone please suggest a solution to this problem?

There was no information on the remedies for my fault in the link you gave
me. Any other ideas?

Default Reluctant Taskbar

unfortunately, i do not.

typically, right clicking on the areas
you are trying to access should
give your access and options.

if i recall, you had received some
advice from an mvp on a prior issue
regarding the desktop. however, the
"perfect as always" advice was flawed
as i had mentioned to you.


it is unclear what all you may have
done to your desktop that is imposing
a conflict for you.

You can't drag to the Taskbar, nor to the Notification area (tray area).
You can drag to the Quick Launch bar, or any other toolbar you add to
the Taskbar.
