Left click on the taskbar, holding it down (like you do when you want to copy and paste) and just drag it back down to the bottom.

Then right click on it again and tick 'lock taskbar'

I keep telling you that you should take belly-dancing lessons. It's knowing what to grab and where to pull it that matters.

Read the bit about sizing handles on Using the Windows XP Taskbar

Silly question, but did you put the little double-ended arrow on the task bar before you left-clicked and dragged?

Lol. Run your cursor just over the edge of the task bar where it touches the screen (so it's the inside, not the outside, of the bar). The single arrow will turn into a double arrow like this (sorta, you get the idea). Once you get the double arrow, THEN left-click and drag across and down.

Good luck. :wah:

It does pop across really quickly, but it was definitely you who did it.

Now go and write in the 'something new I learned today' thread. :-6:)

Jimbo, you must always have your toolbelt strapped and buckled firmly around your waist. That way you have those tools handy when you need them.

What??

Tool BAR?

Oooops!

Oooops! I think His toolbar is actually telling him something. His toolbar doesn't want to be his toolbar any longer. :yh_rotfl
