You must go into control panel, into appearance and themes, then choose appearance and themes-when open, choose option appearance and choose your colour/windows style.

Just click, hold and drag it back to the bottom.  Click on a free space on the task bar and just drag it back to the bottom of the screen.

ahlain, try clicking anywhere on the taskbar, and while clicking.. keep dragging it to the bottom, then when u reach the bottom, let go of the mouse, stop dragging, that should return it the way it should have been.

The task-bar clock will only display the current hour and minutes.  Even re-sizing the task bar (in XP) will display the day of the week and date, but not the seconds.  Everything I read on the web states that the with the introduction of Windows 95, the addition of seconds to the task-bar clock display was too CPU intensive.  So hence it's never been an option since in any of the later Windows OS releases.\n\nIf you want the seconds displayed you'll have to use some kind of third party software.

It_girl92 is right. But you has forgotten something very important. Some people has this checkmarked and some does not.\nYou have to "RIGHT" click on the taskbar and now you should see the option "Lock the taskbar" if lock the taskbar is checkmarked please just click on it to remove the checkmark. Now that the checkmark is removed you can easily drag the taskbar back to the bottom as It_girl92 said.\n\nIf there wasnt any checkmark on the lock the taskbar you can just drag it.

Right click a blank area on the taskbar, then make sure Lock Taskbar DOESN'T have a checkmark beside it. Then click in a blank area on the taskbar, hold the mousr button and drag it back do to the bottom.

He said system tray (the area that contains your clock), not the task bar.\n\nThe answer is no, you cant.

Is your start button gone or there but not functional? If it's gone your task bar may have just been dragged down hidding it...try click and holding down the left mouse button at the very bottom of the screen and drag it back up...To re-enable your desktop icons just click the right mouse button anywhere on your desktop background and go to "Properties" then click (with the left mouse button) the "Desktop" tab and then click the "Customize Desktop" button, there under the "General" tab you will see "Desktop icons" just place a check by the icons you want to appear...

Hopefully you have Windows Restore turned on.. If so run it and change it back to a date before you uninstalled the themes. It should bring it back to normal.\nGood luck

Put your cursor down to bring up the taskbar again.  When the taskbar appears, right-click on it and go to properties.  In properties, be sure that the "keep the taskbar on top of other windows" is checked. as well as "show the clock".  Be sure that "auto-hide the taskbar is unchecked".

What it sounds like you have done, when it only goes to half of screen is reall just expanded it not moved it. What you need to do is, using your mouse and the left button, click on the task bar in a space where nothing is and keeping the left button down move your mouse to the area, top, bottom, left or right  you want the task bar to be..
