Most retarded computer question ever
 

My kids moved the Start menu bar to the right side of the desktop, rather than the bottom, where I'm used to it.

I can't figure out how to get it back on the bottom.

Can you help?


Also, how retarded am I?

Right click on the task bar and a menu will pop up. Look for "lock the task bar" and make sure it's not checked. Now put your cursor anywhere on top of the task bar, click and hold left mouse button and drag it down to the bottom of your screen. Next, right click and lock the sucker so it doesn't happen again.

What he said is accurate. But, if you don't have XP, don't spend too much time looking for the 'Lock Taskbar' as it doesn't exist.

Lol, you kinda remind me of my dad. When we got out first computer with Windows 95 I'd change like every setting possible. All the colors would be bright green and orange. He used to get so mad at me, cause he didn't know how to change anything back.

lol..I rotated the monitor 90 degrees once. My dad ended up buying a new monitor when I was out. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Back in the days when mice had balls I used to steal them from coworkers. mmmmm.

Even before that, Sun workstations could use an optical mouse that took a special mousepad. If you rotated the mousepad 90 degrees the mouse wouldn't work. Fun stuff, there.

and my favorite of all time, add this to someone's .bashrc:

alias exit=bash

for the non-UNIX among us, that basically starts a new shell when the luser types the common "exit" command to close the shell. DO NOT leave your console unlocked around me! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

another fun thing you can do is switch the ps2 mouse and keyboard plug at the back in your computer lab. Then sit back and watch all the clueless people go nuts trying to figure out what's wrong. They'll check the back to make sure it's plugged and hilarity will ensue.
