Default How do I make my Task Bar go back to the horizontal position?

Somehow, I managed to get my task bar to sit vertical up the right side of my
screen. I would really like it back where it was (horizontal at the bottom).
HELP!!!

Try this.

Right click the taskbar, then click to clear the Lock Taskbar option.

Left click, in the middle of the Taskbar, hold down the button and drag the
Taskbar down to the bottom.

Right click the taskbar, then click Lock the Taskbar.

Now it can't be moved or resized unless the Lock Taskbar option is cleared
again.

Any advice is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.
