TaskBar and Quick Launches

[Guest]

We have a network of 5 computers with XP and XP Pro. We are having problems
with the task bar in displaying the configuration that we want. On one of
the computers - the task bar went sideways on the screen and we had problems
switching it back. This morning, it went into a double task bar with two
levels. Is there a way to customize and change the task bar. We've tried
the normal procedures through Task Bar and Start Menu, but have been not be
able to configure task bar. Any advice?

Dear,

You can place the taskbar on a different location or expand it by simple
dragging it. For this to work you should first make sure that it is
unlocked. you can do this by a right clik on the task bar and selecting the
lock the Taskbar item.
Make sure that you lock the taskbar afterwards to prevent the taskbar fro
moving or expanding in the future.

Best regards
Sven

If a toolbar, such as QL (Quick Launch) took up one line and the running
tasks are on the other line, click the vertical divider to the left of
the one you want on the right, and drag it to the right with an up-down
motion till it is taking up the whole area to the right of the other
section. Then click the top of the Taskbar when you see the Resize
pointer, and drag the Taskbar down to the size you prefer. Lock the
Taskbar so it won't move again.
