Click on an empty spot on the task bar and drag it down to where you want it, then right click on it and select lock the taskbar to keep it there.

Thank you Bob, It now moved back where it belongs and is now locked. Its confusing when things get moved and then you have to find all the icons when they move to a different location.ere

Windows Word in Task Bar?

Owner End Process with the task manager only "Ends Process" during that sesssion. Upon rebooting all your processes are back ... even "End Process" ed ones. Microsoft Word does not belong in my Task Bar. It uses 55% of CPU upon start up. No wonder we were gettin' hot. How do I get it out of my Task Bar? and How did it get in there? Owner 'End Process' es are fairly benign and most gamers turn them of except the task bar itself and IE while playing, its even on the directions of most PC games...for enhancesd performance... etc. The entire word program is running!!...55% of a 3.2GHz CPU (certainly isn't the fastest) at startup is going to word without me turning it on, that is ridiculous! marf

Unfortunately, DA's solution didn't work... zep, I read the information at your link; and I officially have information overload. : ) Can't... do... it... I'm not really sure what to do. Is it because of the network connection? I see it happened to cg, too. I believe the icon didn't disappear until about a week after I set up the network. And I don't know if this is related; but my internet connection keeps getting cut off constantly when I'm using my laptop (this started a few days ago). Grrr. I think I may try something I read (about the cut-off internet connection) - and that is - shut off both computers; and unpower the modem and router, and repower them up in order of modem, then router (I have to read the instructions again : P )... That probably has nothing to do with the volume icon on the desktop (which ran like a charm for more than 5 years until I set up my network : / )

sorry I am late getting here but see you got your answer so that is good. Yes you really do need to put ad block plus and the easy list on your firefox since you already use firefox. Just go here to the ad block plus and click add to firefox you will then have to shut down firefox and restart then go here and under easylist click where it says add to adblock plus to add the easylist subscription then it is a good idea to restart firefox one more time. Adblock Plus 1.3.3 then this EasyList

Loralee, that has happened to me several times, I am blaming a herky jerky finger sometimes, and sometimes when I play cards, the task bar has a mind of it's own, so when these things happen, that don't happen often, and I am staring and wondering What happened? I write the solution down in a little book I have, so if it happens again, at least I don't have to come into the forum to find the answer. I know most of the time it is my own fault, and I feel somewhat bereft about that, I am a senior, and should know better by this time.
regardless, I always appreciate the help provided by the great gang here, and know it will always be available.

This forum has taught me a lot over the years. I don't have anyone in the family that does much with computers. My brother and I would learn from one another. I lost him this Spring so Now I am on my own.

I am an ole timer here. I Joined this site back I think when it first started up. For awhile they even started charging a yearly membership but I stuck it out then it went free again.
I have a computer help file that I copy all my questions and answers to so the next time heaven forbid it should happen again I have the answer.

I appreciate everyone here.
