Move the taskbar and start menu

Somehow the menu task bar and start to settles at the edge of the right hand of the screen. How can I get the taskbar to the bottom and the ti back on the start menu on the left side?

Right-click on the taskbar and make sure that it is no longer blocked. Take an empty place and slide it downwards. Lock the taskbar. Bruce Hagen

    • Select the Customize Windows from Start Tune-Up Center
    • Click options preferences and behaviors
    • In the left pane, select system under Administration
    • In the right pane, select special folders tab controller
    • Select "Windows configuration files" in the "Special feature" column in the list, then click on 'change '.
    • Find the folder and click OK when finished
    • Click OK again to save the settings
    [2] method: Using Windows Registry Editor to configure the SourcePath value

    • On the start menu, select "Run."... »
    • Insert: regedit.exe
    • In the left pane, navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft Computer\ My
      \Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
    • In the right pane, double-click the value SourcePath "' which is a string value
    • Insert the desired location, and then click OK to save the settings
    NOTICE: You can change the setting back after you are done after the execution of SFC.
    Thank you
    Have a nice day :)

    You're hurting. Do not use the right button of the mouse.

    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.

  • Windows 7 taskbar and start menu large icons are either missing (empty by default) or do not show the right program.

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium on an AMD Athlon (TM) II X 4 630 2.80 GHz with 6.0 GB of RAM (64 bit OS). PC is up-to-date with the latest updates and use Norton Anti Virus.

    I used this PC for several months with no problems. After doing some research in my menu of the taskbar Windows Explorer and start icons have become corrupted. The links always work but do not show the right program.

    I tried several things to fix this. I removed everything in the start menu and taskbar, rebooted, added a few back but the problem still exists. I deleted the icon cache file (renamed to db.old), restarted, problem still exist. I made a recovery of a checkpoint system before the problem was still not fixed. When I go to small icons, the problem disappears. The problem only seems to appear when you use large icons in the bar of tasks and the start menu.

    Based on what I've tried so far is there any other suggestions on how to fix this?

    This tutorial is to rebuild the icon cache when the cache is corrupt.

  • After running chkdsk because I had blue screen whenever I started, now it works but the taskbar and start button are gone! I tried to run explorer.exe but who did nothing!

    I have an emachines T6534 and whenever I start my computer, I would get an error stop 0 x 00000024. I ran chkdsk on my other computer with the hard drive and it seemed to fix the Blue error screen. But now, whenever I log in, it takes 15 minutes to log on and I can't access the files. The "Start" button does not appear or is the taskbar. I can run the Task Manager, but that's all. I have very important files on the hard drive and cannot afford to lose. I can't even open internet explore from the Task Manager. When I try to run the system restore, it says 'system restore is unable to protect your computer.

    The Stop 0 x 24 message indicates that a problem has occurred in Ntfs.sys, the driver file that allows the system to read and write to NTFS file system drives. A message similar to Stop 0 x 23, exists for the file systems (FAT16 or FAT32) file allocation table to.

    Possible resolutions:

    1. hardware malfunctioning SCSI and Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) or drivers can also adversely affect the ability of the system to read and write to disk, causing errors. If you use SCSI hard disks, check the wiring problems and ending between the SCSI controller and the disks. Periodically check Event Viewer for error messages that are associated with SCSI or FASTFAT in the journal system or Autochk in the application log.

    2. check that the tools that allows you to continuously monitor your system, such as virus scanners, programs of backup or disk defragmenters are compatible with Windows XP. Some drives and cards are issued with diagnostic software that you can use to run hardware tests.

  • Taskbar and Start Menu customization errors

    I turned on my computer today, and my taskbar has been replaced with the classic windows style.  I tried to go back to windows vista style and I received this error message.  "The Visual styles could not be applied."  When I chose the option of windows vista Basic, the preview screen was black and it displays this message when I tried to apply and change.  He also did the same for the option of windows aero.

    I tried to get into the command prompt and running a scan (sfc/scannow).  I restarted my computer 3 or 4 times, including after completing the scan.  How can I fix this so that I can choose the option of windows vista basic?
