    Why is it not possible? BECAUSE MICROSOFT TOOK THE FUNCTIONALLITY AWAY!

    I agree. Whoever came up with the bright idea to permanently lock the taskbar and *REMOVE* this well used functionality should be FIRED.

    Not only is the taskbar locked for me - but it is locked in a BROKEN STATE. Yes - its the infamous 'empty taskbar' bug.

    Are you freaking serious.
    Basic features missing the usual story.
    How, in this day where basically every setup is dual monitor, can we not do something as simple as move a task bar
    out of the way.
    Isn't this supposed to be a step forward. I get it, memory management and customization don't go well together.
    But if I want to sacrifice some visual performance for convenience then just let me and give me a warning screen.
    Don't just say "oh hey this is way better you should get this" and shove it in my face for a year or
    longer only to have the first basic thing that I try to do be completely impossible.

    I would like to cast my vote to return the ability to move the taskbar up one notch so that the day of week appears in the taskbar.

    I also need to unlock and move the Taskbar to the right or left of the screen because it is covering buttons at the bottom of my screen. It there a way to remove the taskbar?

    Thanks,

    Greg

    Yes, please allow for unlocking the taskbar. I hate it on the bottom. I always use it on the side. Please, please change this.
