You have always seen the Windows Taskbar situated at the bottom of the screen. But did you know that you can change the location or placement of the taskbar anywhere on the screen? Most of us prefer having the taskbar placed at the bottom of the screen – which the default setting that we are used to. But, if you need to change its location on your screen, here’s how you can do it.
