    taskbar help


    Hello,

    Help please.

    The taskbar buttons instead of being on the left hand side are all on the right in the shape of a small box. If any more than 2 windows are open a little scroll bar appears at the side. This is very annoying!

    How can I get it back to a normal layout???

    Attached is a screen print.

    Tks,

    Well, regardless of the OS you are using, simply right click on the taskbar, and deselect "Lock Taskbar". Then, you will see a row of dots in between each section. Simply drag each section to where you would like it, and then re-lock the taskbar.
