I hate to do this but my "Dummies" doesn't answer.

...and I'm not making this up...

My cat just walked across my keyboard and when she got off the taskbar was vertically positioned along the right side of my monitor.

I consulted "Dummies" and was able to drag it back to the bottom of my screen but now;

1. my quick start icons are to the right of any programs I'm running, and
2.the little "themometer" that moves to the right as a page opens (to tell me I'm still connected and loading) has disappeared.

In my cat's defense;

1. She's obviously smarter than I -- she did what I cannot undo,
2. She (and again, I'm not making this up) has walked across my keybad TWICE while I have been playing hearts and both times she has shot the moon!

...smart cat. Dumb me.
