OK . . . I somehow dragged my taskbar down . . . and now it's hidden . . . and I can't drag it back up.

How do you get it back?

Use the center function on your monitor to move your screen up, then align everything up.

dont take your mouse down so far you can go past the point where you can grab it to pull it up.

Just grab the edge of the screen and yank it back.

Umm . . .when the cursor turns from a cursor to the double arrow, and I click to drag it up, it does nothing.

Happened to me once when I was using my optical mouse for the first time. I just restarted the computer, and got the double arrows back. Hope this is helpful in some way!
