The Windows Vista taskbar doesn’t have to stay the same size or at the bottom of your screen.  This guide shows you how to resize and move the taskbar.

Unlock the Taskbar

Before you can move the taskbar you need to make sure it’s unlocked.

Right-click the sidebar, make sure Lock the Taskbar is not checked.

Move the Taskbar

Point at the taskbar, click and hold down the left mouse button.  While holding down the left mouse button, drag the taskbar to any side of your screen.

Resize the Taskbar

The taskbar can be resized by pointing to the top edge of the taskbar and dragging it up or down just like you dragged the taskbar to a different area of the screen in the section above.
