Thread: Tweaking the taskbar

The Taskbar, which contains the Start button and Notification Area, is one of the most vital parts of Windows, so why not make it work the way you want? Before trying to modify it, right-click the Taskbar and ensure that 'Lock the Taskbar' is not ticked. The bar can now be made larger: move the mouse over the top edge of the taskbar until it turns into a two-headed arrow, then click the mouse button and drag it up. The bar can also be moved to the top or sides of the screen: click the bar and, holding down the left mouse button, drag it to another edge of the screen.
