The way it's *supposed* to work is that you can move the (unlocked) taskbar, including
the start button, to any of the four edges of the screen, by clicking on a BLANK
portion of the task bar (close a few programs to open up some blank space on the
task bar), and dragging the whole thing to any edge. It should all snap into place.
You will NOT see the taskbar get "dragged" as you move it...but drag the cursor
all the way to another edge (top, bottom, left, right) and the task bar will jump
there when you release the mousebutton. Do NOT click on the EDGE of the taskbar
(so that your cursor looks like a two-headed arrow) -- that's for changing the taskbar's
size, not position.
