- XP taxkbar gone vertical
- Posted by Ed on January 30th, 2006
This happens on my wife's computer sometimes, but not frequently
enough for
me to remember how to get it back down to the bottom where it belongs.
Could someone remind me?
I've searched Windows Help and Google Groups, getting the instructions
to
unlock the taskbar an "drag it to where you want it." However, it
doesn't drag.
I can drag the edge, making it fatter, but it remains stuck to the
right side of the
desktop.
TIA
Ed

Right click the taskbar, then click to clear the Lock Taskbar option.
Left click, in the middle of the Taskbar, hold down the button and drag the
Taskbar down to the bottom.
Right click the taskbar, then click Lock the Taskbar.
Now it can't be moved or resized unless the Lock Taskbar option is cleared
again.

Wes,
The taskbar is unlocked, but left clicking and holding the middle
doesn't "grab" it
for dragging. That's the problem.

Got it!
I've been double tapping the touch pad so long that I can no longer
remember
what a right click and left click are!
Thanks.
