My mom accidentally messed up the taskbar and got it stretched out all the
way to the top of the page. Now, no matter how hard I try, I can't get it
back to it's normal place at the bottom of the screen, and it's driving me
nuts! I can get the left-and-right arrow to come up, but not the up-and-down
arrow. Help! Please!
 
Right click on taskbar>Unlock the taskbar>now with the help of mouse you
try dragging back to the bottom then click Lock the taskbar.

But I can't get the taskbar to move up and down. I can only get it to move
left and right.

If the taskbar is unlocked, press/hold down the left mouse button on an empty
space in the taskbar.
Drag it back to the bottom and release the mouse button.
Re-lock the taskbar.

Not sure you are getting the response provided. That error can and does
happen, not uncommon. All you have to do is click a blank spot in the task
bar and drag it to where ever you want it - top, bottom or either side. It
probably isn't locked as it wouldn't have moved around in the first place,
but check just in case per the original response.

Good Luck,
Len
