Is there any way to align the Windows XP style taskbar with the right hand side of your screen? In the older windows styles, you can drag your taskbar, which is normally aligned with the bottom of your screen, and drop it so that it all aligns with the right hand side of your screen. Does the newer Windows XP style taskbar support this, and if so, how do you do it? Dragging doesn't seem work... Taskbar is not locked, but I swear the sucker won't drag. Most I can do is expand the height of it... I CAN drag the old style taskbar, but that's not the one I want to use... Okay, I have it fixed now. Now all I have to do is figure out whether to credit Akiya or Godsownman for the solution. Godsownman, the first thing you said was "hold on", and I know that's not what you meant (you meant "hold on" until you finished revising your answer), but "hold on" is exactly what I was failing to do, so when I read your statement, I was able to fix the problem. The problem was that I was attempting to make use of a "snap to..." feature that wasn't there and I was letting go of the bar too early. Akiya you were the first person to really "suggest" holding on. Hey, since the question is still open, can you guys all help me figure out which of these two people to credit for the solution? I'll go with the majority.
