I must have tickled it in a sensitive spot because it immediately
reared up and positioned itself on the right-side of my desktop.

I've thrown a bucket of cold water over it but it still refuses to lie
down.

I'm using Win98 with IE6 as my desktop.

What to do?

Greetings probonopublico!

You should be able to move the cursor to a spot on the taskbar
(preferably a blank section), click and hold on the left mouse button,
and then drag it back down to the bottom section of the screen.  When
you let go it should appear in its old spot.  You can also use this
method to move the taskbar to the top or to the left-side.

I hope this information is helpful.  If you would like for me to
clarify any part of my answer or further research your question,
please let me know before issuing a rating.  Thanks!

Hi, Leep

Thanks for your prompt response.

I had already tried the solution that you have proposed ... many times
... but no joy.

I've just tried it again. Still no joy.

As far as I can see the mouse is otherwise OK.

Over to you!

When you click and hold on the taskbar and move the cursor (even a
little), does the entire taskbar get outlined at all?  Also, please
indicate exactly where you are clicking on when attempting to move it?
 Thanks.

Got it!

I expanded the bar as wide as it would go and then found that I could
push it around.

Maybe I had inadvertently squashed to bar thus impairing its mobilty.

Thanks a lot
