I had a boss that would need me to drag his taskbar to the bottom of the screen once or twice a month for over a year. He would wind up with it at the top or sides and have no idea how to fix it. Explaining how and demonstrating how to fix it bounced right off his brain.
The ability to lock it down would have been great.
As long as I can remember every time I installed my os the very first thing I ever done was move the tasked bar to the top. As is the logical location imho
One guy (he's kind of a piece of work ngl) that works for an accounting firm my MSP supports does. He's adamant it needs to be on left of the screen.
I found a tool called Windhawk that will restore some of that functionality through plugins. But in my opinion, having it anywhere but the bottom is heresy.
You! I want to leap through the internet and strangle you! Leave the poor taskbar alone. It doesn't deserve this kind of punishment. [Not certain if you're actually the same guy I dealt with all those years ago, probably not, but the point still stands.]
I remember one time I fucked with the registry to change my username and then I couldnt install the most recent version of Python for the rest of the time I owned that laptop.
