Anyone else keep the task bar at the top or am I alone?

EnterUserName · 12-18-07, 07:20 PM

Okay for about 3 years now when ever I use a pc the first thing I do is move the task bar to the top. It seems logical for it to be at the top since everything else is done at the top. You close programs at the top, save files, your favorites are at the top and most programs have all thier options at the top so why do people insist on having the task bar reside at the bottom of the screen?

It drives me freeking crazy

It feels so counter productive I cant even use a computer when the task bar is at the bottom.

are you talking about the Start menu? if so, it comes that way, and most people dont know you can move it. plus, your just crazy if it bugs you THAT much.

Macs have the Finder bar at the top

dunno, maybe you're weird.

Artillery129 · 12-18-07, 07:26 PM

yeah i keep it on the bottom and i keep the general adress bar/ my computer at the top, super efficient skills, plus moving the mouse is no00bsih just press windows key!

I normally use the windows button and alt+tab but at work I have some stuff that I use the mouse for and they initially didnt want me changing around the taskbar on the computer dedicated to scanning at work. I got my way though and now most people in my office have switched over.

I do in my car and then I also hide it so it only appears if I place the mouse up there

I keep all my icons in a row on the top, with the start menu on the bottom, then i have my widgets(fake mac ones for pc) on the left and right sides.

murderotica · 12-21-07, 06:08 AM

I leave it on bottom but never touch it...
I leave some programs I need open (Steam, Ventrilo, mIRC)
I have a big mousepad so it's not a problem to open Opera

Then on the mac... oh wait, no taskbar. =p

Start bar at the top. All frequently used icons get moved to the quick launch (no more than 20), All frequently used web addresses get moved to the LINKS toolbar and added to my start bar. ALL ICONS REMOVED FROM DESKTOP. So I can show off and enjoy whatever wallpaper I have displayed.

My bar is always hidden to fool, unsuspecting office managers. LOL

...........seriously.............

antik · 12-21-07, 10:37 PM

What's a taskbar?

My desktop (shrunk from the 1920x1200 native)

J/K of course...

I tend to keep my task bars on my Windows systems on the bottom just because I have so many computers that I use on a regular basis that it's too much of a pain to move them...

my home systems both run Gentoo most of the time so nothing works the way you windows folks are used to - it's awesome though
