OK Brink, I totally messed up my taskbar - it was 4 inches tall and 4 inches wide. could not reset it back for the life of me. Any wat I found this fix for all those like me, you will find the fix-it tool from microsoft HERE
Just make sure you open the compatibility under properties to previous version, and it should work - it did the trick for me. I love it.

it's a wonder I could even get windows 7 to connect to it
i've recently treated myself to an nice 1920x1080 widescreen monitor, and to make the most use of the extra width, i thought i would stick the taskbar over on the left-hand side, and try to get used to it in its new location.
i'm sort of getting the hang of it, but i would much prefer it if the taskbar was flipped - ie so the start button (or whatever it's called now) is at the bottom (ie where it's always been!) rather than at the top.
does anyone know if this is possible, or do i have to look at third-party skinning/theming tools?

I been placing the taskbar on the left since win 95, and as Mickey asked, is there a solution for placing the start button at the bottom, or a solution out there that allows the bar to be flipped.
Moving taskbar programs to right, next to language bar
Since time immemorial (in computer terms: Win98, 2000, XP) I have had the taskbar programs on the right side of the taskbar, next (left of) the language bar. If I try to move the programs using the left mouse button, I get a double thingy but when I move it to the right side of the taskbar, nothing happens.
I don't want to move the programs or the taskbar to the right side of the monitor's screen, only to the right side of the taskbar because I don't like the crowded look that I see next to the Start button, I liked the clean look of XP.
