I can't unlock the taskbar

I can't unlock the taskbar in Windows 7 64 bit computer.  Locking/unlocking button is not lit. Always off in the administrator account.  Lock Taskbar Start menu taskbar in GPEDIT.msc was found in "not configured"and all other settings. "  I can find no settings change locked status of the to-do bar.   Help!

It seems that some changes have been made in the register. If you are not sure then:

Open the Registry Editor (Star > run > regedit > enter)
In the Registry Editor window, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
(Do not go to "run" folder. Click on the file in Explorer). In the right pane you get a few keys (two or three) if there is a key named LockTaskBar and then right click > click on edit and then set the value to 0.
If you cannot find something here, then move to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
See here if you get a key named LockTaskBar and then right click > click on edit and then set the value to 0.
Note: be careful when you edit the registry. Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution.

  • Cannot access pc settings and can not unlock the taskbar? (Windows 8)

    This morning I turned on my pc and noticed that the lock screen had changed, so I logged in and then I realized all my apps on the home screen had been removed even those provided with windows 8, such as news and sports, even the tile Office had gone. I finally managed to get on the desktop and everything blew my taskbar, so I tried to unlock it, but whenever I did it automatically locked again. Then, I found refreshing the pc would be a good idea, but I can't even on the pc settings. I opened to the top of the sidebar, then click on change pc settings, but absolutely nothing happens, can someone please help soon!

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply.

    I appreciate your efforts to solve the problem.

    I suggest you to check if the problem occurs in a new user account.

    Create a user account
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/create-user-account

    If the problem does not exist in the new user account, you have damaged user profile. You can follow the procedure to resolve a corrupted profile.

    Copy old files to the new profile:

    a. go to C:\Users\Corrupted_Profile_Name\. The name of the profile will be the corrupted ProfileName.

    b. copyall files.

    c. Open Panel and the display of folder options uncheck Hide protected operating system files.

    d. navigate to C:\Users\Corrupted_Profile_Name and copy the Appdata folder.

    Note: Do not copy these three files. NtUser.dat, NtUser.ini, NtUser.log.

    e. navigateto C:\Users\New_Profile_Name\.

    f. Paste all files here.

    Hope this information helps. Answer the post with an up-to-date issue report to help you further.

  • I can't do the taskbar to the bottom

    How to move the taskbar

    Louis

    Hold down the button to right click with the cursor on the taskbar near the hour and drag the toolbar to your new position. Normally the Tasbar can take a position to the right of the window and it's relatively easy to go back down. If he gets to the top of the window do it first to the right, then down. You need to unlock the taskbar and you can do it in selectong to the right, click on menu. The process of moving can be fiddling. You must be patient and persistent.

  • Gmail button (in internet explorer) keeps having moved to the right in my taskbar when I wasn't staying on the left (that's why I first open). How can I get the taskbar buttons to stop randomly to reorganize and stay in order?

    Gmail button (in internet explorer) keeps having moved to the right in my taskbar when I want to keep it on the left (that's why I first open).  How can I get the taskbar buttons to stop randomly to reorganize and stay in order?  I'm talking about the buttons on list of my open applications and documents in Windows Vista.  The bar tasks are "locked", but the button of the window open with gmail in internet explore reappears suddenly in the good moments apparently random.

    It is in the middle part of the taskbar (what I found online so far is on the start menu, the quick launch area or area/system tray of notification, the location of the taskbar in full, either about grouping taskbar - I disabled because I would like to separate).  Can anyone help?  I don't understand why this is happening (or why microsoft would never do).

    Lock the taskbar that it prevents to be moved elsewhere on the office and maintains the different sections where they are - it does not block the tabs showing what is open where they were when they were opened.  There is no control for this function.  Maybe if you uncheck similar taskbar buttons group it will help, but I honestly don't know (and fear he won't make any difference - it may even make things worse).  This also happens to me and I was unable to find an answer.  I think that there are more than just random, but I can't telll you why he moves the legs periodically (sometimes it works fine all day and other days it happens almost immediately).  But still, there is no control for this function, so there is no way to tell him to keep a specific order or to lock an established order, once it has been created.  I suspect that it happens because the notification area icons appear and hide and new programs open and close and which changes the amount of space available and so he rearranges things so that they match and apparently does not always consider the original sequence in which the elements have been added.  Maybe if you remove the Quick Launch toolbar and then add again, the order will reset (but that I know not - probably not in the original sequence, which I doubt is logged nowhere - it did not work when I tried it).

    Unfortunately, I don't have a solution to this problem (and I spend a little time looking for even before myselff posed the question) and do not believe that there is a.  It is also unfortunate that you can't move them so they can be put back in the right order if they change.  I don't think that there is nothing wrong with your system or that it is something that can be repaired or fixed - it's just the way it is and we just have to live with it.  I don't know any 3rd party software that controls the order of tabs open in the taskbar program (but you can check out Bing, Gooogle,www.tucows.comand www.download.com to see if I'm wrong on this - here n "t all when I looked trying to solve this problem for my own system).

    I'm sorry it wasn't what you wanted to hear, but it's like that.  I don't know if it's different in Windows 7.

    Good luck!

  • How can I get the taskbar to show when I want to use?

    In many programs, the taskbar disappears from the bottom of the screen.  Sometimes I need to use an icon that sits on the bar spots.  How can I get the taskbar to show when I want to use an icon on this subject?

    What are 'many programs' to make it happen?  If you are using "full screen", you must leave this mode, usually by pressing F11 or ESC key.
