A Very Dumb PC Question

[FH]

I don't know how my son does this but he'll grab the mouse (he's 3) and screw up my taskbar at the bottom (the one with "start" and the clock) and it'll be stuck vertically on the right-side of my screen. I can't click and pull the damn thing down!! Any help?

First, right click on it and make sure it's not locked. Then you can just click and hold and drag it back down to the bottom.

Thanks!

Pets and kids have a knack of doing this sort of thing FH.

When I used X-Wing vs Tie Fighter regularly, my cat used to sit and try to bat the tie fighters as they whizzed across the screen. Everynow and then, the excitement would get too much for him, and he'd run across the keyboard, chasing the tie fighter that was whizzing by from one end of the screen to the other.

When he did this, he'd always change the options, so that I would be viewing the game from OUTSIDE of the ship, and the controls would freeze so I'd be flying endlessly out to space.

The only way I could continue to play the game would be to return to Windows, kill the game, and restart it.

But I just couldn't lock the cat out when I was playing the game, because it was so hilarious watching the stupid idiot chase the tie fighters, and run around the back of the Monitor to see where they had disappeared to !
