Computer Peeps...STUPID QUESTION...

My bottom toolbar somehow moved and is now going up and down along the right side of my screen. How the heck do I bring it down to the bottom? I tried dragging it, but it's not working.Chat Icon

Not sure type of computer you have, but on a Mac go to the apple then dock and your choices say bottom, left or right. I actually keep mine on the left.

click & hold on empty space of the start bar... drag to side you want it to appear, then release mouse.

I "fix" that "problem" on a lot of machines... it's surprising how many people don't know about that.

Once you grab the toolbar, you can move it to any of the 4 sides of your monitor (or any side of any number of monitors you have. I can move it to 12 different locations on my computer.... Chat Icon Chat Icon )

since you are running multi monitors, check out a program called ultramon...works great. gives you control over additional tools bars to manage windows in that single monitor...

best part, if you are too lazy to pay. you can keep uninstalling it and reinstall it every 30 days.

I'm trying to figure out how to mount a 4th monitor over my center one, so it's like an inverted "T". 4 side by side just gets too wide, and it's a pain panning across all of them. It's in my cubicle, so I can't really mount anything to the walls. I'll eventually figure something out.

I can't use software like ultramon at work, but I like some of those features.... I might use that at home. I have two monitors now, but I want to hook up my TV in the other room as my 3rd, and this software would make it easy to clone just one of the displays so I can see what I'm putting up on the TV.

A good old box might serve as a platform. Problem is find the right size. But then you would see the box and stuff behind the monitors and it wouldn't look clean.

There inst much in terms of extending a monitor up that doesn't attach to the desk.

I have 3 monitors vertical(portrait) and the 4th landscape. I mainly only use the 3 monitors and the 4th is purely for Zune Software or Pandora.
