Windows – Can’t move Taskbar

taskbarwindows xp

My friend was on my laptop and accidently moved my taskbar from bottom to top of my screen. I've tried grabbing the taskbar and move it back down. I can grab it alright but as soon as I begin moving my mouse down with it, it releases the toolbar. Is there any other way of getting the toolbar back to the bottom?

Thank you

Best Answer

  1. Right click the taskbar
  2. Uncheck "Lock the Taskbar"
  3. Drag your taskbar around the edges of the screen (Erratically move your mouse if it's "stuck")
  4. Check "Lock the Taskbar"

As Dodi points out below in the comments (he solved it himself), you find the answer on one of the "taskbar fixes" on this site. (It was a registry problem.)
