    My bride sits across the home office from me and her W7 desktop is configured with two monitors.

    nvidia graphics card.

    Left monitor is monitor is VGA and the right is DVI

    Using the nvidia control panel the left monitor is set as the primary display and originally the the icons and taskbar were showing on that monitor.

    But .... she has done something (and does not know what) that moved the taskbar to the right (secondary) monitor.

    What is the trick for getting the taskbar back to the left (primary) display?

    Thanks in advance,
    Rick

    Thank YOU!

    I had already tried that but you triggered a thought and when I tried that method it worked.

    Right click and "unlock" the taskbar.

    Shift-Left click and drag and "presto" it is back on the primary monitor.

    :D
