Taskbar - how to move?

[Blithe]

W2K Help says - to move the taskbar:

Click an empty area on the taskbar, and then drag the taskbar to a different
location on the desktop.

However - that never works for me. I prefer it at the bottom of the desktop
but it jumps on occasion to the right side where I cannot drag it back. How
do I get it back and lock it? (In the past, it jumps back to the bottom at
random. Only once or twice I can recall that it will drag back but maybe
that occurs about one out of 100 frustrating attempts - so I just live with
it)

Thanks - Blithe

you need to select an area that is "really" empty, and not part of a
"toolbar".

Juat keep going with it, it will move,
but your will not see the change until you get it all the way over, then
release the mouse.

Thanks Bob I - I'll try next time because I fear to try anything now.
Before I got your suggestion, it once again randomly returned to the desktop
bottom.

If you "grab" close to the Notification area, and drag left and down, it
only takes about a half an inch of movement to flip it back and forth.
