Windows Vista taskbar

When I completed the windows update, the position of all the minimized applications always went to the right side of the taskbar.

How do I set it back to the default left side?

Re: Windows Vista taskbar

Does the system re-boot after the win update is installed?

Can you take a screen shot of before and after and include in post to provide us more info?

First question, I don't know how to answer... I think it does?

here's a screenshot of how it normally is (and how I want it):

I just pulled it off google.


and here's mine




So, how do I move it back to the way it normally is?

Re: Windows Vista taskbar

Hey ohnoyellowdinos

If you right click on the Taskbar does it have a tick next to Lock The Taskbar?

If so click Lock The Taskbar which will then release the bar, and you should be able to click a little grill next to the tabs and move it back along to the left.




After which you right click the Taskbar again and select Lock The Taskbar


Regards





Craig

thank you.
