system icons are now on the left

Help! Something happened to the appearance of my computer. Normally my operating system icons (IE, Mozilla, etc) as well as my start clock and date were at the bottom of my screen. Now they are all on the left hand side of the screen.

Any suggestions, please?

Just click and hold the cursor on it and drag it back to the bottom.

Thanks for the suggestion but that doesn't work.

Right click on a blank area of the bar. If the menu shows a check mark next to "Lock the taskbar," click to uncheck it. Then try dragging the bar down to the bottom again. Once it's on the bottom, right click a blank area again, and click "Lock the taskbar" so it'll stay there.

Thanks, it was under properties.

You're welcome! Looks like you figured out the other way. There's always more than one way to do something on a computer.
