This tutorial discusses moving and resizing the Taskbar in Windows 8.1 You can move the Taskbar to any side of the Desktop that you want. It appears at the bottom of the screen by default, but you can easily move it or resize it, if needed. To do this, right-click anywhere within the Taskbar and look for the “Lock the taskbar” command within the pop-up menu that appears. If there is a check in front of “Lock the taskbar” command, the Taskbar is locked in place and cannot be moved until the check is removed. Click the “Lock the taskbar” command to remove the check.
Windows includes a special application desktop toolbar called the taskbar that shows on the bottom of a display screen by default. The taskbar allows you to find, see, open, and switch between your apps. You can also see the date and time, system icons, and items running in the background on the notification area. You can make the taskbar look how you want, manage your calendar, pin your favorite apps to it, change the size, change location on screen, and specify how taskbar buttons group together when you have more than one window open.
The Windows 10 taskbar works much like previous Windows versions, offering shortcuts and icons for every running app. Windows 10 offers all kinds of ways to customize the taskbar to your liking, and we’re here to guide you through what you can do.
We’ve taken a look at customizing the Start menu and the Action Center in Windows 10. Now, it’s time to tackle the taskbar. With just a little bit of work, you can tweak the taskbar to get it running just how you like it.
Once the Taskbar is unlocked, you can click and drag the Taskbar from its current location and drop it at any one of the sides of the screen. You may resize it by placing your mouse pointer over the edge of the Taskbar until you see a double-pointed arrow appear. You can then click and drag to make the Taskbar taller or shorter. Note that in Windows 8.1, you cannot make the Taskbar any shorter than the buttons that appear within the Taskbar.
After you have made any modifications you want to keep when moving and resizing the Taskbar in Windows 8.1, right-click the blank area in the Taskbar again and select the “Lock the taskbar” command to lock the Taskbar back into place. This will prevent anyone from moving or resizing the Taskbar in Windows 8.1, unless they first unlock the Taskbar.
You can also make the entire Taskbar smaller or choose to hide the display of the Taskbar entirely. To do this, right-click the empty area within the Taskbar and then choose the “Properties” command in the pop-up menu that appears to open the “Taskbar and Navigation Properties” dialog box.
