I was clicking randomly or something, and suddenly my toolbar disapeared and reappeared on the right of my screen like so. How do I get it back? Fucking stupid.

click and hold the line that seperates it from your main window, and simply drag down

that was kinda wrong.
just grab the middle grey area below your "Winamp" icon in the start menu.
Click and hold, then drag down to the bottom of your screen and let go. You will see an outline of the start menu as you move it.

Whew! Thank God! That happens all the time and I always trick someone into fixing it for me, I never could. I think I had to right click something too, cuz it took yet MORE random clicking to get it back to the way it was.

Drag that baby....depending how you use your comp it can make a lot of sense to choose something diff than the standard botton bar....
& that's the way I normally have my toolbar (well, on the left of screen anyway)...
I like it cause it gives you more screen length; makes long web pages a lot nicer to deal with....
but yeah, HEHE...the amount of calls I get at work saying "HELP!!!I'VE BROKEN MY COMPUTER" about this feature of Windows....Worst case I've seen is where they'd resized to fill half the screen...

this happens to me every so often. it takes me like ten minutes to figure it out, and i always forget how to fix it by the time it happens again.

i've done strange things with my tool bar before......ehehhe.
i have a stoopid question.
scenario.....
i have an online picture, that will not let me right click and save as my backdrop. what do you have to do, or what can you do, to make it possible to right click and save it as your desktop?
is this problem solvable without too much deep computer knowledge?
thanks

Sounds like it might be a Flash picture or a sneaky webdesigner has disabled Right-Click...
Anyway...Do a google for some screen capture software; dunno what machine you are on so can't make any recommendation...
but armed with that it'll let you grab anything that's on your screen (either the whole screen or a selected rectangle) & then save the resulting pic to your wallpaper or disc...
hope this helps....

save the page on your hdd (file>save as) then go tho the "_files" folder and you'll find your picture there most likely

cool....thats something i didn't think of....screen capture. i have hyper snap.....that might work.
i tried sending it to myself as an email.....but it still didn't work.
skyfarmer .... i did save it, and i found the picture. the problem is not being able to right click and getting the option to save as background.
it's just SOME pictures, but now that jand mentions that.....thats prolly eggactly what it is. thehehhe
thanks so much
*UGS*

Wasn't there some flavour of Linux that had it on the left by default?

probably yes. there are so huge numbers of linuxes. anyway it is not a bar (or i have never seen a linux with a single bar but it probably exists). mine has stuff on the lower left and upper right corner.
anyway i'm not really a linux expert, i just stick to the usability.

i think you can right click on the taskbar and select "lock the taskbar" so you cant move it around by accident anymore
