Lionel:
Clicking on the edge of the taskbar numerous times is a waste of time.
click on the taskbar and hold down the left mouse button, drag it back to the
bottom of the screen and let go.
Glo:
as for unwanted icons on the taskbar, right click directly on the title, where
a menu will popup,
move curser up towards to 'toolbar' and uncheck the toolbar you want gone from
the taskbar.
(If there is no title, click on the double line at the beginning (a double
arrow will appear) of the toolbar will popup the menu)
If it looks like a large double taskbar, point your cursor over the top edge,
(a vertical double arrow will appear),
hold down left mouse button and drag it down to a single taskbar.
If the taskbar wont budge, restart the computer, then try dragging the taskbar
down again
Finally, restarting the computer will keep the taskbar in its original state.
Good Luck Folks and Happy Computing!
TimR~

Hi Glo, that is strange , that happened to me this morning too, I had part
of the control panel in there too , but after clicking on the edge of it for
abourt 10 minutes , it returned to the bottom of the screen . Just keep
perserveering , like I did . You just have to go clickity click and see
what happens. Maybe one of the Einsteins knows the solution. Lionel.

Hi All, my friend (a very hip 83-yr-old lady) is having this problem:
somehow her task bar hopped over to the side of the screen. In trying to
move it back to the bottom, she clicked on several things, one being the
control panel. (??) So when I tried to drag the task bar down it went, but
it's real big (like 2 inches tall) and it won't drag down smaller. Instead,
it keeps adding stuff from the control panel to the task bar, making it
bigger and bigger. So now most of the icons from the control panel are on
her task bar and we can't get them gone! Does anyone know how to bring the
task bar back to its original state? She's running W-98. TIA ---Glo
