Taskbar - how to move?

[Guest Blithe]

W2K Help says - to move the taskbar:

 

Click an empty area on the taskbar, and then drag the taskbar to a different

location on the desktop.

 

However - that never works for me. I prefer it at the bottom of the desktop

but it jumps on occasion to the right side where I cannot drag it back. How

do I get it back and lock it? (In the past, it jumps back to the bottom at

random. Only once or twice I can recall that it will drag back but maybe

that occurs about one out of 100 frustrating attempts - so I just live with

it)

 

Thanks - Blithe

you need to select an area that is "really" empty, and not part of a

"toolbar".

Juat keep going with it, it will move,

but your will not see the change until you get it all the way over, then

release the mouse.

Thanks Bob I - I'll try next time because I fear to try anything now.

Before I got your suggestion, it once again randomly returned to the desktop

bottom.

If you "grab" close to the Notification area, and drag left and down, it

only takes about a half an inch of movement to flip it back and forth.
