      Are there no surveys on Slant for this question?

          Today I was stunned to realise that, even in the local IT group here, I am in the minority of people (i.e. I am the only one) that put the Windows Taskbar on the left side, instead of leave it at its default position, i.e. the bottom of the screen! :omg: What about you guys?

                  Standard position, dual monitor or not doesn't matter.

                    I've tried various positions over the years but prefer the bottom. ;)

                      Why? About the position... I do too. About the mouse buttons... if he is left-handed, makes sense.

                                Well more proof I'm an oddball. Windows Taskbar RIGHT hand side no vanish. Mac Dock RIGHT hand side with vanish. I'm right handed but mouse left with buttons swapped. (I'm so old when I started using a mouse I was still taking notes so I needed my right hand free for the pencil.)

                                I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

                                  I'm so old that we didn't have mice. The pencil in the right hand was used for writing onto coding sheets to be sent for (mis)punching onto punched cards.

                                      Mine is on top right now. Not that I like it much to be there but I have to put it there as my second monitor ( 27 inch curved Samsung ) stubbornly refuses to show the bottom couple of lines so that I can't see which applications are open. I have not found any way to cure that, maybe someone here has an idea/suggestion?

                                          Today I was stunned to realise that, even in the local IT group here, I am in the minority of people (i.e. I am the only one) that put the Windows Taskbar on the left side, instead of leave it at its default position, i.e. the bottom of the screen! :omg: What about you guys?

                                          right side. The furtherest away from where ones eyes start. I can also put so much more information there and have so many more windows open. Also, on servers that I am on on occasion I leave it on the bottom. On certain servers I might move it to the left as a visual clue to myself where I might be. Really works well for me. Small Icons, descriptive words and on the right. Best choice I ever made.

                                          To err is human to really mess up you need a computer
