To Rick or Anyone,

I have sent out a similar posting on this previously, and
Rick suggested that I turn off "lock the taskbar" and try
to drag and drop to the top, then the left, then the
bottom of my screen, and I am unable to do it? Can
anyone suggest what I am doing wrong (the "drag and drop"
is enabled!). Thanks.
