My daughter has moved my tool bar,start menu to the top of
my screen. When I click and try to drag it it comes to
the middle of the page but will not give me the top. In
other words, I have a huge grey screen. Any help would
appreciated!! Thanks
 
My Taskbar has Moved
a.. The taskbar is locked by default in XP, other operating system may or may not be locked. Right click a blank area of the taskbar, choose Lock The Taskbar on the menu if it is already ticked, else press escape or click away from the menu.
b.. Press Ctrl + Esc to open the Start Menu
c.. Press Esc to close the Start Menu but leaves it selected
d.. Press Alt + Space to open the System Menu for a window
e.. Press M to select Move (the M is underlined) on the System Menu
f.. then press an arrow key till the mouse cursor is in the middle, then down arrow till it reaches the bottom. Watch the mouse cursor as the taskbar snaps so won't do anything till the mouse cursor is 1/2 way. Note the arrow keys are moving the mouse cursor not the mouse.
g.. press Enter to accept changes or Esc to cancel the move.
The taskbar can also be dragged with the mouse unless it locked.
 
Hello Susan,

Well first you would want to lock your mouse on the edge of the task bar right when it turns ti a double arrow (lock left button) then move it back up to the top of screen, that should shrink it back, now you want to lock mouse on an empty space on the task bar or tool bar as you call it without it showing double arrow , once locked on it ,then drag to bottom and let go. (remember no double arrow curser)

Hope it works for you

Best Regards
