Where do you put the taskbar on your screen (for those users of Windows and other OSes with taskbars). I was fooling around and put my taskbar on the top of the screen - I found this makes accessing stuff in the start menu much easier
Reasons
#1 - If I use the start menu, I only have to move my mouse down to scroll through the hierarchy of program links. When the taskbar is at the bottom, the way the submenus pop up sometimes makes me have to move the mouse up AND down.
#2 - The file/edit/etc... menus on individual apps are at the top, if I want to press buttons on both taskbar and application menus I don't have to move the mouse as far.
The only downside is that this looks a little funny to me. Perhaps I will get used to it in time.
Any thoughts?
