PC help: Moving the Taskbar

How to move the Taskbar

Written by Tim Smith, Anthony Dhanendran

My grandchildren have moved the Taskbar from the bottom to the top of the screen. It still works but I would like to move it back. Despite looking at the Properties window I have been unable to find a way to do so.
Francisco O’Neill

This is simple to change although there is no explicit option for it. Position the cursor over a blank section of the Taskbar and press and hold the left mouse button. Move the mouse to the edge of the screen that you want to use for the Taskbar and let go of the mouse button. The Taskbar works in the same way wherever it is placed, so it may be worth experimenting.
