Vista Quick Launch Bar

I am used to moving the Quick Launch bar where ever I like but in Vista I
have not been able to grab and move it like I can in XP. This morning while
playing with it I double-clicked on the divider and it moved the bar over
next to the Taskbar but I can't move it back or grab the divider as in XP.
The Taskbar is not locked, has anyone done anything with this on Vista that
can enlighten me about this? Thanks in advance!

Re: Vista Quick Launch Bar

Hi Mikey,

Yes, that did work fine. I never use a double-wide or larger Task Bar so I
never thought to try that. You must grab it and pull it down to the bottom
and pull it over to the Start button, once you close any open tabs then you
can pull it up back to its original location and then reopen any
tabs/programs.

Has anyone had any success move the Quick Launch in Vista to the top of the
page, or side of the screen? On some of my XP machines I keep the QL Bar on
top of the screen because some users like to have many items, ie all their
icons from the desktop on the QL Bar and it crowds out the Task Bar items so
that works well for them but in Vista I haven't yet gotten the method to move
the QL anywhere but next to the right side of the Task Bar.
