May 10, 200422 yr Geepers this is frustrating....I can't get my taskbar to move to the top of the screen (as part of my unattended install)....I've read all the threads I can find (about the TaskBarWinXP key)....and still it's not working for me...I'm wondering two things....first, do I maybe need to have a key that unlocks the taskbar before I import the reg key with the appropriate settings? (in my case I want to move the taskbar to the top of the screen).Secondly...can anyone lay this out for me, plain and simple...perhaps I've gotten something messed up as I've read the different threads...I would simply like my taskbar at the top of the screen....no quick-launch is necessary, as I install True Launch Bar after my setup has completed...if anyone has any ideas, that would be great...Here's my reg file just in case (it's applied from cmdlines.txt...i guess at the 13 minute mark)...Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;This will add "Services" to the right-click menu of "My

May 12, 200422 yr Author This is still drivin' me nuts....anyone have any ideas...Or maybe a better question is: has anyone actually gotten this to work properly?
