How can I change my Windows taskbar's position?

Tuesday, June 6, 2006 by Link632 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

How can I do that? I want my windows taskbar to be at the top of my screen while my docklets stay at the bottom. I'm using the free version of ObjectDock and it doesn't seem to have the option to change the Windows taskbar's position (top instead of bottom). The only option it has that has anything to do with the Windows taskbar is "Hide Windows Taskbar."

Click on an empty part of the taskbar and drag it to the top of the desktop.

Sir Zubaz - You told me to turn my monitor upside-down.

Yeah, I got into trouble with the missus for doing that...she didn't like having to stand on her head to read what was on the screen.

Click on an empty part of the taskbar and drag it to the top of the desktop.


Oh, and BTW, be sure to uncheck 'lock taskbar' or it won't go anywhere.

lol I didn't know it was that easy! Thanks much, Sir!

And thanks Starkers for telling me to unlock the taskbar first before I drag it anywhere..

I feel it necessary to point out that it's been this way since Win98...

Yep. I know that. I actually remember dragging my taskbar before to the sides of my screen. But for some reason, I forgot about it. All that was in my mind was "maybe there's an option for it in ObjectDock?" (well, it had an option to hide the Windows taskbar.. so I said, "maybe there's also an option to change the taskbar's position?"). So... there you go.
