If you're running XP, you may have to right-click on the taskbar first and uncheck "Lock Taskbar" before dragging it to the bottom of your screen where you had it.

Talk to me about settings!
My winXP stopped being able to standby and hibernate and as far as I've figured out, this is because I have a too old ISA device (probably my sound card) which won't support this. The OS has that functionality at the beginning (after it's installation) because the sound card is not PnP and I had to install it manually. Perhaps I 'll have to create another hardware profile, without my sound card, if I want to use this feature.
At least XP run smoothly, without creating the mess that win98 did.
Btw, that was the reason that I have been missing lately. First my browsers started failing when I got online, then after I formatted my master HD and reinstalled, the modem had disappeared.

Go to View, and there you check "Status Bar", every IE window opened should now have a status bar.

The problem isn't with the user, it's with the entire idea that a computer can perform even a tiny percentage of it's possible functionality while protecting the user from having to deal with complexity. This bill of goods was first sold to the public by Apple, and Microsoft was waiting in the wings as always to steal a good idea and make more money from it. This particular paradigm is interesting because the 'easier' the UI is, the more complicated it's implementation becomes, and the intelligent user is kept farther from the process where he can't understand how the process is supposed to work once it clears the UI, because he can't seperate himself from the UI to begin with.
AOL is another company making use of this paradigm. It's easy according to the ads for AOL, yet once you actually try to do something besides visit their affiliated sites you find out that it's not easy to do the things that every other more standardized ISP does without a problem at all. Frustration abounds once the user tries to actually access more of the functionality of the computer.
The holy grail here is systems that are designed to do fewer things more simply, and complex systems for power users who appreciate a straightforward approach to attempts to protect them and obscure the answers they seek. As chip and computer prices continue to drop, look to see more systems and components which are hardcoded to do their one task efficiently and clearly, and fewer monster systems which act as controllers for so many various devices.
