There are several parts to a Taskbar. The most common are the "Quick Launch", "Taskbar", and "System Tray". In Windows XP you have many options related to the taskbar. These can be found in the Control Panel unter "Taskbar and Start Menu". You will need to switch to "Classic View" on the left column to see this area.

Right click on it and make sure that there isn't a check next to "Lock the Taskbar".  If there is, uncheck it.  Now, left-click on an empty space of the taskbar and drag it to the bottom of the screen.  Right-click on it and check "Lock the Taskbar" so it won't move again.

At top of screen...go to view\nHighlight toolbar\nYou will have a check on the toolbars that are in use.\nUncheck the toolbar that you don't want.

Have you tried \nStart, Control Panel, Add and remove programs?\nThen select what you want removed.\nThat usually will do the trick.

First, "right click" on the task bar and make sure that the "lock task bar" option is not checked.  Then hold down your left mouse button and drag the task bar to the position desired.

Depends on the programs you are running in the quick launch section of the taskbar. Find the ones you feel you don't need and remove them to optomize your system.

Close all windows and return to Desktop. Right click on a clear space in your toolbar, hold it down and drag your toolbar back to where you want it. Simple.

That is the system tray. There is one way to permanently remove them. This will work if you have win 98/XP in your system. \n1) Click on start\n2) Select "Run" option.\n3) Type msconfig in it.\n4) click on the last tab and there deselect all the programs you don't want to run in background.\n5) The programs will not get loaded when you boot ur system next time.

It may be in use by your computer. Ctrl-Alt-Del and see if it's on the list. You could end task then try. But, I'd make sure it isn't a necessary file first.

you should be able to move your mouse pointer down to the bottom of the screen, hold down the left button and drag the task bar into view. if this doesn't work, restsart, and right click on the task bar, left click on properties. select "always on top", or "lock the task bar".

start-> settings-> taskbar and startmenu -> startmenu -> customize -> advance -> then click dont display item under the my documents heading\n\ni think you can only do this if your start menu is not the classic (getting rid of documents that is)\n\nEDIT: just realize there is no settings if you are not using the classic start menu (just right click on taskbar then properties)

Right click on the taskbar and make sure that "Lock the Taskbar" is NOT checked.  Then you should be able to click and drag it.  You may want to "LocK'" it again once you've moved it back.
