Messed-up task bar

Hi! I was working on my Dell Dimension L600r today. All of a sudden, I noticed that the task bar (or tool bar?) at the bottom of my screen was gone. Using the mouse, I "pulled" it back up. It looked odd, but it was working. My husband came home and started messing with it. Now the tool bar/task bar is on the left side of the screen. All the little icons that used to be in the bottom right corner are at the bottom of the new column. And the start button is at the top left corner! Any ideas of what we did? And how to fix it?
Thanks so much!

Just grab the task bar by hovering the cursor over any EMPTY space on the task bar and then, while holding down the left mouse button, drag it back to where you want it; let go of the mouse button to drop it there.

 

I knew it was something simple! Thanks so much! That worked!
