Try:
With the task bar at the bottom, hide the quick launch bar (or uncheck show quick launch). Now move the taskbar to the top. Then go to unhide the quick launch bar. If it appears at the top as well, try dragging it down - it may be easier this way - look for the handles (short parallel vertical bars)
Does anyone know how I can have my taskbar at the top and my quick launch toolbar at the bottom? I use to do this on XP and now I can't seem to do it. I have tried everything from right clicking and looking for "move" or "detach", to manually trying to drag it to the bottom, like in XP.
ANY IDEAS?
