Guest bikemrh Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 I am trying to drag and drop the quick launch task bar from the main task bar so it is undocked. I want to place this on the left side of the screen by itself. It used to be there and somehow my 4 year old daughter made it disappear. When I show the quick launch from the toolbar window I cannot get it to drop on the desktop. Please advise.

Guest John Barnett MVP Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Re: Quick Launch Task Bar won't undock Try Right clicking on the task bar (the area between quick launch and the notification area containing the clock) From the drop down menu remove the 'tick' mark from the 'lock the taskbar' option. This should then allow you to move the quick launch bar. -- -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

Guest bikemrh Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Re: Quick Launch Task Bar won't undock The taskbar is not locked. I can drag it and it has the icon when you drag but when you let go of the mouse button nothing appears.

Guest bikemrh Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 RE: Quick Launch Task Bar won't undock I have done that. When I go to drag it off of the taskbar it doesn't move.

Guest Ron Badour Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Re: Quick Launch Task Bar won't undock Try left clicking on the clock and move the cursor to the left side of the screen. I don't understand your comment about it having the icon--when I drag my taskbar, it merely moves--no icon involved. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2008 "bikemrh" <bikemrh@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:89DC6155-E05E-44F7-ABB2-E0C2F6355A8B@microsoft.com... > The taskbar is not locked.

Guest bikemrh Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 RE: Quick Launch Task Bar won't undock What I mean is when you go to drag it, it shows the curser and a hashed line box. I shouldn't have said icon. I has the quick launch on the side before then my daughters (5 and 4) where playing a game on the internet. I came back to my computer and the quick launch was gone and when I clicked show quick launch it would appear on my task bar but I cannot drag just the quick launch to the side.

Guest bikemrh Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 RE: Quick Launch Task Bar won't undock Thank you for all your help. What I ended up doing is creating a new toolbar and that one is now along the side of my window.
