Windows 7 - Move the Taskbar

SUMMARY: Move the Windows 7 Taskbar to the top, bottom or side of the screen.

When a new version of Windows is released such as Windows 7, one of the first questions people usually have is how to move the taskbar around the screen?

Windows 7 provides a couple of ways:

1. Right-click an empty area of the taskbar and uncheck "Lock the taskbar".

2. Click and hold the left mouse button down on an empty area of the taskbar, then drag it to one of the four sides of the screen.

3. Right-click an empty area of the taskbar and re-check "Lock the taskbar"

OR:

1. Instead of unlocking and dragging the taskbar, right-click an empty area of the taskbar and choose "Properties".

2. The "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" dialog box appears. Next to "Taskbar location on screen", click the pull-down and choose "Bottom", "Left", "Right", or "Top".
