Vertical taskbar with the Start button at the bottom

[Tlis]

I know how to snap the taskbar to the edges of the screen by dragging
and dropping it. I like especially the vertical taskbar on my
widescreen monitor, but if I put my taskbar vertically, the start
button goes to the upper corner (left or right).

Is it possible to have a vertical taskbar with the Start button still
at the bottom (the clock area could go then up)???

No! Sorry.

You want an upside-down taskbar? No, there's no way to do that, at
least not within Windows. I suppose it's possible that there is some
third-party program that would do that, but I don't know of any. If
you want to look for one, do it with Google.

Well, from the ergonomics point of view this upside-down taskbar
(Start button at the lower-left corner, taskbar vertical with icons
building up from the bottom up) would be much better than the
currently available solution

It would allow people to keep using the mouse around the lower-left
corner of the screen, while utilising better the screen area of the
widescreen monitor. Currently, I need to move the mouse cursor to the
top of the screen to activate the Start button or reach application
icons ...

This is a shame, that Microsoft did not consider this option ...
