Taskbar Troubles Click here for an explanation of the taskbar. To return to this page, click your browser’s back button.
If you accidentally lose the Start button and the Task bar (that gray bar across the bottom of the screen where you see all the programs that are open), move the tip of the mouse pointer all the way down to the bottom of the screen until it changes into a double-headed arrow, then hold down the left mouse button and drag the Task bar up (but not too far-you can make it even taller than it originally was). Let go of the mouse button when the Task bar is the right height. |

Sometimes the Task bar will somehow make its way to the side or top of the screen. To move it back down to the bottom, click anywhere where there isn't a button on the Task bar and drag to the bottom of the screen. You can drag the Task bar up to the top of the screen or to the sides if you prefer, by clicking anywhere where there isn't a button and dragging it to the top or side. |

Give Your Taskbar Twice as Much Room
When you have several programs open, the taskbar buttons can get so small that you may have trouble identifying them. Here's a great solution: increase the height of the taskbar to two lines or even three, so you can see more buttons. Aim the mouse pointer at the top edge of the taskbar until it turns to a two-headed arrow, then drag up to create an extra row. If you make it too big, just follow the above steps and drag it back down. |
