My 3yr old daughter touched my PC and......

......She has somehow managed to have my windows toolbar going vertically on the left side of the screen. I`m not sure how to put this back to horizontal along the bottom, believe me I tried and all this just because I let her have a go at cbeebies on bbc.co.uk for some peace and quiet!

Let this be a lesson to me and a warning to others.
Do not let a 3yr old loose on your comp :o(

I`ve got windows M.E.. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx.

Just drag it back.

Click in it and drag back down - diagonally right.

Locking the taskbar isn`t an option in ME, only XP (not sure about NT or 2000, never used them).

I bet if u let your 3 year old play with the mouse a bit longer she would have got it back all by herself :) lol

Hmm funny, if locking isn`t available on ME how come if i right click on the taskbar , select properties>advanced and scroll to the bottom of the options theres one that says "Enable moving and resizing" ?

Oops, didn`t see that all the way down there. Learn something new every day (now if only I could get windows to be stable).

windows stable ?
What you need is windows 2010, mind you`ll have to replace a number of the circuit boards in your PC and then listen to its problems before it starts behaving in a sane and rational manner instead of trying to eject you out the airlock :)
