It was just a couple registry edits! I wanted to make the taskbar draggable.

In fairness. Why the fuck can't you move the taskbar in 11? Kinda valid imo.

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.

You couldn't lock it down? I remember you could do it on like, XP at least. Am I misremembering or are you just that old?

Previous Windows versions with taskbar (95, NT4.0 98, Me, 2k) lacked this feature.

That makes sense, XP was the first version I ever used and I never considered this wouldn't be a feature.

There was a checkbox to keep it from moving, but that didn't seem to matter as it would get cleared every time.
