Registery Learning : Fixing Taskbar @ its place

Here is another trick which can be useful for computers which are used in public places. If you are sick of seeing people comming around & move your Taskbar or resize it in the way they want, then this trick works for you.

This manipulation of registery just disable any changes on the taskbar. It means your taskbar would be stuck in its place and no one would be able to change it.

1. Run Registery Editor.
2. Go to :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software >Microsoft > Windows > Current Version >Explorer> Advanced

3. Right click on the right window of registery editor. Choose New & then select BinaryValue. Name it "TaskbarSizeMove". Then, Right click on TaskbarSizeMove, go to modify>modifyBinaryData. Afterwards, enter " 00 00 00 01".

Hope it would be useful.
