Hi guys, my sister was messing with my computer and she did something to the start menu. It is now over on the side and is no longer down the bottom of the screen. I know it probably has a simple answer but i'm getting frustrated. Please help.

right click over it and click on "lock the taskbar" if it has a tick beside it.then click and drag the toolbar to the bottom. that should do it.

i do this all the time to put the taskbar at the top of the screen in college since i'm more used to the mac way of things now XD

¬.¬ relatives on computers = malware

i'd just try to see if anything was installed recently and also run a anti-virus/spyware scan...

it really should of let you drag it to the bottom if its not locked....


does your taskbar have a line above it like this?
