    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?

    I position it diagonally (Bottom Left to Top Right, obviously) using bricks under one side of the monitor. It makes people less likely to use my computer. Nah, it's at the bottom of my left-hand (Portrait) monitor. Left or right took up too much space with the original "Start" button.

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

                          M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

                                        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.

                                          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.
