re: The taskbar Sunday, July 30, 2006 at 6:27 am Windows 95 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Sage's Unicorn (13 messages posted) Hello, I have a Compaq Presario computer and working on Windows 95, can you help? Hi Mizar: I want to thank you soooo much for helping me, it was taking so much screen away on the side. I got it hidden like you said, thanks for the tip! In the meantime I'm going to keep moving things off of it and try to get it moved back to the bottom, but for now, it's great! I really appreciate the help! Any advice is greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance for all of your much needed help. Vickie On Saturday, July 29, 2006 at 10:10 pm, Mizar wrote: >Hi.
