How do you MOVE the fekker!? I have just installed Reaper on this Lenovo E590 laptop and some of the settings are buried in the taskbar. In Win 10 you just "grabbed" the bar and threw it to the side. Don't work for W 11.

Don't like 11, forever popping ***t up. VERY distracting.

My newest PC has Win 11. Haven't bothered to initialize it yet. I just use Linux instead.
 
Don't you just love the way Microsoft manages to "fix" things that aren't broken.

"Hey, people are moving things on the screen. They aren't putting them where we decided they should be in our design strategy meetings."
"Ok, lets just bury all the controls deep in some obscure menus."
"Fine, if they keep messing up our system, we'll just disable them in Window 12 altogether!"

Dave, you can disable a lot of the notifications. They are a royal PITA!

Hi Rich, yes I have the Dummies book and he tells us how to do that. The laptop is ultimately for my son. It is bigger that his present machine, 15.6" from 14" and the processor a bit later and faster gen'8 i5 512 SSD and 16G of ram so it should run his music work for the next five years OK?
I don't want to do too much in the way of tweaking for him? Might bork something he wants but also HE GOTTA LEARN! Dad is 80 in November and deffo not getting any smarter!
I have installed and paid for Reaper and installed the free Cakewalk which I know he uses. I am hoping MAGIX will be doing the massive discount on Samplitude Pro X 8 later this year so I can buy that. Once I have all the DAWs installed I shall make an image of the drive onto an external 1TB drive and use that as an incremental backup system.

My investigations have revealed that Msoft did not keep the method of moving the taskbar (T***S!) for 11? There is a registry hack it seems but I need the "quick flick" facility of W10.

M'soft probably had complaints from people who would grab the bar by mistake and it would get moved, then they couldn't figure out how to get it back. I've had people say the taskbar just disappeared and they couldn't find it anymore. Turns out that they somehow set "hide the taskbar" and didn't realize that if you pulled the cursor down to the bottom, the taskbar would pop up.

Years ago, I was in some computer user groups, and it was amazing what some people would do to their computers.

They should of made a simple switch - in control panel - so you could setup the Task Bar the way you want.
