Any ideas?
Thanks guys, J9
Right click. Unlock taskbar.
Now throw it where you want it.
Lock when done
As initially stated, it's not locked.
Thank you for trying. ;
Right click on an empty part of the bar, hold the button down and move the
bar (arrow) to the bottom, you won't see anything happen until you get
there.
Both me and my brother have tried this. It does not work. Also, the
task bar is not locked. I can pull it longer, hide it under apps,
This Firefox Forum is the place to get the answer
to your problem. You probably need to reset the config.

Periodically I have had the Windows Toolbar decide it wanted to be at
the top, and have spent hours getting it back to where it was suppose to
be. Problem, I did not really understand how it got up there and did
not realize what I did differently to get it back to the bottom.
Sorry my fault, it's the left button you want, not the right.
It's the Windows taskbar that moved to the top while I was in Firefox.
Similar to you, I don't know how it got moved to the top of my
desktop, and nothing I can do is moving it back, or even to the sides.
I CAN make many changes such as size, hide, so on. Just can't move
it.
To move mine, I have to click on the bar very close to the "Start" button.

That works OK for me using XP.
Thanks for all the replies. None of them work. Even my brother
Richard can't get them to work.

Format and Clean install.
You must be doing something wrong then as it works for everyone else.
A virus that stops you moving the taskbar? And what would be the point of
that exacltly? Don't make me laugh please. Janine is incompetent, (sorry
Janine) it stops there. Maybe a gremlin has crept into her computer
overnight.
I've seen some stupid replies over the years but yours takes the biscuit.
Sorry. If you don't know what you are talking about then the best thing to
do is shut up.
No, I won't shut up.
Calling people who ask for help incompetent seems to me you need to
quiet down. Being rude is not nice.
Now, go to your room till manners are learned if possible.
I mend computers every day dear.
> No, I won't shut up.
I wasn't telling *you* to shut up. Maybe you should learn to read Usenet
correctly, it'l be a start on the way to being able to use your compuer
correctly.

You've been given the solution by several people and you say it doesn't
work. Well I'm sorry but it does, so if you can't make it work the only
logical conclusion is that you are incompetent. Sorry, but that's the way it
is.
BTW, replies go below the post not above it. You haven't even managed to
work that out. As I say, you are incompetent.. Everyone here is willing to
hepl you or anyone but 'god helps those who help themselves' and if you
aren't capable of following simple instructions then you might as well
bugger off and stop asking for advice that you don't heed and wasting
everyone's time.
And sorry, there is no virus or trojan that would waste its time blocking a
taskbar.
Sorry to be so hard but not only do I not suffer fools gladly, I do not
suffer them at all.
For some reason it hasn't worked for her so it could be another problem
she may be having.
I post above the reply so I don't need to read everything again..you
have your choice just as I have mine in regard to posting.
Have a nice day sometime..

Brian!
This fixed the taskbar stuck at the top! TYVM
And thank you to everyone that contributed suggestions.

I really can't see what. It works on every computer I've tried it on. You
click on the bar, hold the button down and, if on the top, move the bar
first to the side then to the bottom. It is really very simple.

It isn't a choice, it is the way Usenet recommends it and the way civilised
people post. Do you start a book at the end and then read through to page 1?
No of course not. Top posting is equivalent, one reads the reply before the
question.
> Have a nice day sometime..
I do every day thanks.
> Cross posts snipped
There was no crossposting. It seems you do not know what that means, it
applies when the same message is sent to several groups, which wasn't the
case.
Although I am agreeing with you..
I suppose there is a remote possibility that someone tinkered with the
mouse control panel and a click drag may not quite work the same. Such
as making it a left-hand mouse, etc. etc. Check to make sure the mouse
is normal and of course I believe you already stated the taskbar is
*not* locked..
I wish to thank all who posted suggestions. Especially Brian, this
worked first time!
I'm posting thank you again from my account, not my brother's
(Richard) account so it will be seen in the thread with my name.

The only problem with that is that it assumes that the person you're
talking to realizes how little they know.

Not exactly sure which respondents you're referring to, but "Lou Ravi"
underestimates other people's skills and overestimates his own
contributions. Further, there's rarely a valid excuse for rudeness.
The only valid constructive criticism resulted in "I should have
Googled it." Yeah, that's correct.
Thanks again

I was speaking in the general case. Most people who know just enough to
be dangerous don't realize it, making them even more of a danger than
they'd otherwise be.

That reminds me of a chap I used to work with many years ago. There wasn't
much happening so he decided to clear out some files from the work computer
that he'd "inherited". He discovered a couple of strange hidden files in
the root of C: and, after several attempts, managed to delete them. When he
rebooted, the computer wouldn't play ball. He'd deleted msdos.sys and
io.sys!

You don't need to tell me about "just enough knowledge to be
dangerous." I have an M.S. in statistics, with two years of additional
doctoral classes in the last thirty years since graduation. Almost
everyone in business, social science, and technical fields has one or
more stat classes under their belts. Not many of these people do a
study from beginning to end as a university trained statistician
would.
Not surprisingly, I'm an advocate for licensing statisticians similar
to law, accountancy, nursing, so on.
