An even quicker way to reposition the Taskbar is by using the mouse and a drag and drop action. To do this, first you must make sure the Taskbar is unlocked.

Right click the Taskbar, click the ‘Lock the taskbar’ menu if its checked. Then using the mouse hold down on an empty point and use the left mouse button the drag to the desired location on screen then release.
