Is there any way that I could move my task bar from horizontal to vertical?

Please don't say to unlock the bar and move it..it doesn't work that way. I have an xp. I really need to change it cause that half of my screen is broken and I can't afford a new computer right now and I need it for school.|||It does work. Done it this way too many times already. Right from the Help file:





To unlock the taskbar:





Right-click an empty space on the taskbar. If Lock the Taskbar has a check mark next to it, the taskbar is locked. You can unlock it by clicking Lock the Taskbar, which removes the check mark.





Note:





To lock the taskbar back into place, right-click an empty space on the taskbar, and then click Lock the Taskbar so that the check mark appears.





To move the taskbar:





Click an empty space on the taskbar, and then hold down the mouse button as you drag the taskbar to one of the four edges of the desktop. When the taskbar is where you want it, release the mouse button.





Ron|||what do you mean it doesn't work that way? i also have xp and that's how you do it. be more specific on why you can't do it.|||If it's already unlocked, you should be able to drag it to the side..|||Unlocking the taskbar and then click-dragging it to the side is how it works in every version of windows since 95. If it doesn't on your computer then there's something wrong with your OS or settings.|||To move your taskbar





1.


Right-click your taskbar. If there is a check mark beside Lock the Taskbar on the shortcut menu, click Lock the Taskbar to unlock it.











2.


Drag your taskbar to the left, right, or top of your screen. To drag the taskbar, click and hold the mouse button over the taskbar. Then, while holding down the mouse button, drag the taskbar to its new location. When the taskbar is in place, release the mouse button.





3.


Move the pointer over an edge of the taskbar until the pointer changes to a double-headed arrow. Click the mouse button, and drag the edge of the taskbar to widen it. When you can read the window titles, release the mouse button.











4.


Finally, to prevent your taskbar from being accidentally moved, right-click your taskbar, and click Lock the Taskbar on the shortcut menu.|||But it does work that way! You grab it near the clock and pull it.|||It most certainly will work. I have had WindowsXP every sense XP became available, and been doing it that way.
