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 ".

    One suggestion was sort of helpful as I had this problem recently.  Right click the taskbar and then select Properties.  Properties has a drop down bar where you can choose the location of the taskbar, Yeah!  All done.

    that was easy.   thank you very much.........donald
