LOCK THE TASKBAR IN WINME

You may have discovered accidentally that you can click and drag the Windows Taskbar to any edge of the screen. You might also have discovered accidentally that the Taskbar can suddenly appear taller than it usually is. You can resize the Taskbar intentionally by holding your mouse cursor over the top edge of the Taskbar until it turns into a double-pointing arrow, and then clicking and dragging in an upward or downward direction. In Windows ME, there is a way of preventing this from happening. You can lock the Taskbar so it cannot be moved or resized by performing these steps: right click on any empty part of the Taskbar, click on Properties from the context menu that scrolls up, click on the Advanced tab. In the lower window, at the bottom in the Taskbar section, click to uncheck the item Enable Moving and Resizing, and then click OK.
