Cam't clip and drag task bar to move it - help

[Al Dykes]

Somehow, when my Win/7 PC did a requested reboot at the end of an
unattended backup, the task bar is now on the top of the screen.

Under older Windows, I would do this to myself once in a while. I was
able to drag the bar back to the bottom. I'm unable to use the same
moved on this machine.

Has something changed?

On a related note, how do I see what used to be the "startup" folder?

Just a wild guess, but try right-clicking on the Taskbar and checking
"Unlock." You should be able to drag it then.

The Startup folder is there. Start >> All Programs.

That did it, thanks. I wonder how the bar moved in the first place.
(I don't screw around with my desktop much.)

Gremlins. ;-) Glad it worked.

R-click the Start button, then Properties, Taskbar. Settings easily
accessible.

Right click on the taskbar and select properties. Then you should find
a dropdown menu that will put the taskbar where you want it.

Click on Start Orb - All Programs. That's where I see it...
