24 I hope this does what you want. If your taskbar is on the bottom like
25 mine, click on the little button for the panel setting, should be on the
26 far right. I think they call that a cashew or something. It doesn't
27 look like a cashew to me tho. Anyway. In the menu that pops up, click
28 on the screen edge button and while holding the mouse button, drag it to
29 where you want it.

31 I only have a single monitor so I'm not sure how that works but that is
32 how I move mine, although mine is on the bottom. I have considered
33 moving it to the top but then again . . . .

35 I hope that helps.
