The problem was that there wasn't any handles within taskbar to click and
drag when taskbar was minimized to one line. After resizing it big enough I
could find free place to grab and to drag it to bottom of screen. Thanks to
you and Elmo for your replies.


You're welcome, and glad you got it where you like it. But for the
future, note that clicking on a handle is not what you need to do. You
need to simply click on any unused place inside the task bar.

Hi
I have same problem on my XP Home system. Strangely this solution won't work
at all, because upper edge of my taskbar is stuck to top of screen and
taskbar only stretches down almost over half of screen until it stops. I only
want back my basic one line taskbar at the bottom of screen. Thanks in
advance for help!


You are trying to drag it by the edge. It's like a window, and
dragging by the edge resizes it. Click *within* it, then drag.

Hi

LEFT click on the taskbar & simply drag it back to the bottom of the
screen. You may have to rightclick on it first & uncheck the "lock
toolbar" option (I'm on a Win2000 system right now & lock toolbar is
not used in Win2000)
