Yes, the lock task bar is unchecked. I've been clicking for 2 hours and it still doesn't worka because it doesn't seem to grab at anything. Yes, it will let me get the two arrow thingie when I click on the left edge (which only moves it left and right but not to the bottom) but I don't get the two arrow thingie when I click in the middle of the gray blank space. The middle of the gray blank space I only get the regular white arrow. Still need help folks!
Point to any part of the Taskbar EXCEPT the Start Button. Hold in left mouse button. Drag pointer to center-bottom of screen. Release mouse button. Voila!
After you unlocked the taskbar, did you try to reboot?
Maybe your mouse is worn out! Just kidding. 10mm probably hit on it. DON'T try to drag the durn thing by the start button - just anywhere else on the taskbar!
Try doing those thigns with the RIGHT mouse button instead of the left
My hubby says to get the little two arrow thingy and make the taskbar smaller(shorter). If it is too big, it will not drag to the top or bottom. And drag from the middle not the start button.
You're SUPPOSED to get the normal cursor inside the bar. Reread my post.
Unlock the taskbar, then click and HOLD on the task bar, then you can drag it to where ever Mr. Gates has determined you may...JFK
One thing I forgot, and nobody else mentioned, is that when "dragging and dropping" the taskbar, you won't actually see it being dragged like you do with icons.
You just continue "dragging" until the cursor is at the bottom of the screen, then the taskbar will "pop" into place.
You might want to try it again in order to not have to do a System Restore next time.
