Default Task Bar jumped to 2nd monitor

I shut down my computer using the on/off button. Yes, there were programs open. Restarted and now the "Start" taskbar is showing on monitor #2. How do I move it back to monitor #1? The program icons are still on #1.

Thanks in advance

this may be a video driver setting, but first try to right click on desktop, and reset your primary display on the settings tab. if its still fubar, look in your systray area for an ati or nvidia icon, click it, and see if there are any settings for it. the nvidia settings are under nview i believe.

This is even in the FAQ.

Drag it back. (You'd be surprised how often we get this question. )

Click and drag is not working.

Right-click taskbar, choose to unlock it, then click & drag and lock it again.

I've seen this not be just a click'n'drag fix...though I'd suspect this is mostly likely the case.

Like ohgeetee said, this may be an advanced setting in your video driver. Look around [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
