Computer questions?

[zana16]

Today is the day for several multinational corporations to DIE. I want to KILL them.

First off, Herbal Essences MUST DIE!!! I accidentally bought just shampoo instead of the 2-in-1 in my brand last time I convinced somebody to drive me to the mall, so I went to the bookstore to get conditioner. All they had was Herbal Essences. Okay, I could deal with that. Until I opened up the bottle. Now my hair smells like APPLE CANDY, the bastards!

Secondly, I have some Windows questions (I know, I should switch to Linux, but I'm not great with it. So I'm dealing with Microsoft's bs). The first is the one that's currently driving me nuts. Yesterday coming home from watching PotC (mmm, sexy pirates), my computer had magically changed. The toolbar with Start Menu/open windows/clock/etc had decided it didn't like being at the bottom of the screen; it moved without provocation to the right side of the screen. And I can't figure out how to change it back. This is driving me batty. Anyone? Please?

Oh, and watched the deleted scenes from PotC. Norrington's first name is James, not John as fandom had decided. Silly Disney.

Right-click on the taskbar. See if there's a check next to 'lock the taskbar'--if there is, remove it.
Then click on a blank part of the bar and pull it towards the bottom of your screen.

I don't know HOW this happened without you changing it, though.

Windows 98 doesn't seem to lock, but at least it's back at the bottom of the screen. Thanks!

[mayhap]

If you click on the taskbar in the right place, and start dragging, you can drag it wherever you will -- back to the bottom, up to the top, et cetera. I'm not precisely sure where the right place to click on it is, however, but I've always managed it without too much difficulty nonetheless. You can tell you're doing it right when you get a little gray outline of the taskbar that is going wherever you drag it, and then you drop it where you want it, and voilà. :D

Perfect. Thanks!

solving your windows problem: right click on the taskbar and make sure "lock the taskbar" is not checked. then click and drag it down to the bottom (or wherever you feel like putting it). after it's properly placed, right click and check "lock the taskbar" to prevent accidental moving/resizing.

Thankee!

There was a loud and cheerful James faction, of which I have long been a member. I think it sounds... Wonderfully British.

Commodore James Norrington. What a horribly twistedly wonderful character.
