2 ways :

  1. Right click on the taskbar, un-check Lock taskbar > put the cursor at the edge of the taskbar, click and Hold > drag it down to the bottom > right click again, put a checkmark on Lock the taskbar.
  2. Right click on an open space of the desktop > Graphic Options > Rotation > 90%. Don't forget to " Lock the taskbar ".

    This way is far too many stepsfor my brain to remember and follow to fruition! :(  

    Hence, it was not helpful to me.. however. it does seem like 154 others could make it work.  

    I scrolled down

    touched two keys 

    moved my courser down 

    and TA DA!

    all done.

    too bad this shorter, easier suggestionis at the top of the page...

    Suggest Microsoft rearrange this list to Really help people out...'RubyCoffee
