I think you can just drag and drop.

Researching:
Sherwood (Kent); Jesson (London); Worboys (Herts)

OK, here is another way, right click on the task bar, then select properties, make sure their is no tick on the box, Lock task bar, then close that box, then left click and hold the clicker down, on the task bar and drag it across and down to the bottom of the screen, then go back to step one and put the tick back in the box, Lock task bar, then click on apply.

Linda, the best way i find is to set another user account up for the kids to play on, this wiil stop them messing about with your settings, just go to control panel and click on user accounts, then make sure your account has a password. Roy
