But a high post count helps at being right when not being right.
Regarding the issue, I still have good old Win98 here, as I bought a barebones PC with no CD-ROM, mouse, keyboard and all the stuff you already have anyway and got an old, unused Win98 CD from work for free. There is no "lock taskbar" option. I tried clicking and dragging everywhere and when I did it somewhere at the bottom of the task bar, it jumped to its old destination. I'm too much afraid to reproduce it, however :laugh:
Thanks for all the help.
