its on the side and it won't slide

Although by default, the taskbar is displayed on the bottom of the screen,
It can be on any of the sides on what you prefer. To move any
side to side, simply click an unused portion and drag
where you want it. Don't forget to click inside it, not on the edge.
by clicking on the edge and dragging will resize not move.

If it does not move, it can be locked. In this case, right click on it
and uncheck "Lock the taskbar", then try again.

Moreover, with the screen monitors wide today, I prefer the taskbar
on the left or the right of the screen. I think that allows a better
use of real estate than have it at the bottom of screen.

  • How to reset the taskbar preview window for Excel 2010?

    Hello

    My taskbar do not display all my Excel workbooks in the form of individual windows when I hover over the button. It's annoying because it makes it more difficult to pass from one to the other. This happens when workbooks are open in different instances of excel. "Show all windows in the taskbar" is checked in the Excel options. I searched internet but cannot find an answer to this question.

    I also noticed that the preview for Windows Media Player window is the play/pause and another aymore buttons. I think that the issues are linked.

    These questions appeared at the same time and after that I got a malware that took me a while to get rid of.

    I'm not an expert but have above average computer litteracy.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello Julian,.

    Thank you for the update.

    Please, don't worry about creating another account user has administrator rights. I will help you to create and transfer the data from the old to the new account with the appropriate advice.

    First of all, let's create a new user account. Please follow the steps below:

    To create a user account

    1. To open user accounts, click the Start button , click Control Panel, click user accounts and control of Securityand then click user accounts .
    2. Click Manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Click on create a new account.

    4. Type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type (select Administrator), and then click create an account.

    Once you have created the new user account with administrator rights, you can follow the steps below to transfer the data from the old to the new user account.

    a. then you are connected to the new user account and the office, press Windows key + E to open two Windows File Explorer (do this twice to open two Windows Explorer).

    b. drag one window in the left corner (edge of the monitor) and drop it. Now, the file Explorer window should take half of the screen. Do the same with another file Explorer, then drag and drop it in the upper right of the screen.

    c. Once you have two windows, half of the screen to each catch (left and right), choose one of the window (either left or a right) to access the data you want to move them to a new or previously created folder the folder. Let's say you do this from the left window.

    d d.. now in the right window, create a new folder navigation on the location where you want this folder in one place. To create a new folder, go to the location (desktop, documents, downloads where you want to save) and right click on an empty area, and then click create a new folder. Name the folder, and then click OK. Double-click the new folder that you created which should be empty.

    e. now since the window on the left, drag the data from the folder you want to move to the new folder (in the right window) and drop it.

    Note: You can also copy the data from the left window and paste into law, however, data will be duplicated until you remove them from the left window after pasting in the right.

    Do this for all the data you want to move to the new folder that you created. Once you have moved all the pictures, you can remove empty folders from the left window or delete the old account user completely.

    Well want to try the above first and let us know, we will be happy to help you further.

    I bought a new Satellite L300 - 14 c in German. When I started the computer, all the option that I was to install the German version. But I don't know the German language.
    What should I do?
    Thank you very much.

    You must buy the operating system on your preferred language, install it. After this visit download page of Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads. There you can find all the drivers, tools and utilities for all European languages.

    Laptops are country specific products and if you have an operating system on another language, that you have to buy one.

    How to remove safely remove the icon of the DVD RW AD ATA device optiarc 7561 taskbar for windows vista

    Hello Mark G,.

    I think that Christopher was referring to right click on the remove safely icon on the taskbar and choosing then to remove it safely.

    Otherwise, this may be a feature of the device driver and the device manufacturer may be able to tell how.

    Best regards
