Computer confusion...

[fajrdrako]

Windows XP.

I did something last night and now my start bar is vertical on the right-hand side of my monitor bar. I want to put it back on the bottom of my screen.

How do I do that?

It doubled itself in width, and then piled a few things on top of each other, when they'd always been side by side in the past. No idea why.

That's easy. It simply means it chose a double width setting because it has a lot of items, and seems to prefer that to having the little collapsible menu for the quick-launch items or the task bar. You just need to push it lower just like you'd change any window size. Make sure the task bar is unlocked (right click on empty space to find the setting - which you've probably found out already), then move the cursor until you see the little double headed arrow, and pull it further down. It's delicate and annoying maneuver.

It's behaving at last. I hope it continues to!

Lock the task bar and see if anything about it bothers you. Most people don't mind.
And now you know what to do if it misbehaves again.
