Taskbar position

[Kas]

My taskbar is now displaying vertically at the side of the screen instead of
horizontally at the bottom. I cannot imagine what I did to cause this but I
would appreciate any suggestions as to how I can get it back to horizontal

Click and drag the Taskbar to the bottom of the screen. Once there,
right-click the Taskbar, click "Lock the Taskbar".

Left click in the clock area and move the cursor to the bottom of the
screen. Release and right click to lock the taskbar so it doesn't get
accidentally moved again.

Although by default the task bar appears on the bottom of the screen,
it can be on any of the sides you prefer it on. To move it from any
side to another, simply click on an unused part of it and drag it
where you want it. Be sure to click *within* it, not on the edge;
clicking on the edge and dragging will resize it.

If it won't move, it may be locked. In that case, right click on it
and uncheck "Lock the taskbar," then try again.

The way it got to the side is that you accidentally dragged it there.
