Guest Blithe Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Sometimes my QL toolbar relocates from the bottom of the desktop to the right side. The online 'help' says to click on the divider line & drag it back. That worked the last time. Nothing works this time. There has to be a way to reset the default. Please advise how to end this frustration. Blithe
Guest Bob I Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Re: Quick launch (QL) toolbar - reset position? Is the QL toolbar docked in the Taskbar? (r-click on and unlock the taskbar first). If floating free, are you using soom third party desktop manager that may be interferring? Blithe wrote: > Sometimes my QL toolbar relocates from the bottom of the desktop to the > right side.

Guest Blithe Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Re: Quick launch (QL) toolbar - reset position? OK, thanks - I confused the issue by referring to the QL toolbar that was indeed 'docked' in the task bar. I now refer to the taskbar proper. It's vertical on the right of the desktop. A right click simply gives me the menu (Toolbars/Adjust date time etc) but clicking on an empty spot & trying to drag it down to the bottom of the desktop succeeds only to expand it to the left or retract it back to the right. It will not swivel or drag down. Oops! I just got it to relocate to the top of the desktop. I did that by clicking on a divider to get the opposing down arrows of the mouse cusor to display (I was only getting the opposing side to side arrows to display previously). But damn it! I'm having the same problem. It will not relocate to the bottom. What am I doing wrong? The mouse action is seemingly random, haphazard, uncontrolled.

Guest Bob I Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Re: Quick launch (QL) toolbar - reset position? Sorry, forgot this is the Win2000 group and the lock taskbar. Anyway you may find an "unused area" on the Taskbar, (not occupied by the QL area) and left click and drag it down and toward center bottom.

Guest Bob I Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Re: Quick launch (QL) toolbar - reset position? Forgot to say, you must "walk" it around the screen. If at top, go to side first, then bottom.

Guest Blithe Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Re: Quick launch (QL) toolbar - reset position? Thanks - but nothing works & I get no hits surfing for a solution. An 'annoyance' I'll have to live with until it rights itself? Most likely.

Guest Bob I Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Re: Quick launch (QL) toolbar - reset position? It can be a bit confusing at first locating the "correct" location to click on when you want to drag it back. Keep trying and you will find the correct spot.
