Also, I have it on good authority, she's a bottom of the screen taskbar person as well.

It makes more sense for it to be Sherry if you're instructing someone how to lock the taskbar. I don't think Sharif is a name.

As a result of this thread I put the taskbar at the top of the monitor for a while. After that I auto-hid it for a while. I even put it on my other monitor a while, just to be different. In all cases I got confused as to its location and eventually had to go lie down a while to get over it.
So I'm sticking with it at the very bottom of the monitor in plain sight.

At work I was told i was allowed to auto hide the taskbar at the computer in my area that I use, but other computers that I use around the place I was not allowed to do that just in case the other workers were confused as to where the taskbar was.
In the bottom, always on. I can appreciate the cleaner look of a hidden bar, but I don't like having to wait for it to roll back up again.

On my current, 16" widescreen laptop, I keep the taskbar at the left. The 16:9 screen seems too wide and not tall enough for a taskbar at the bottom. Keeping it at the side (and wide enough to show the day of the week) leaves the desktop with effectively the same dimensions as a 16:10 screen.

Anyone who'd be confused by a hidden taskbar is unqualified to work with computers.
I've significantly revamped my desktop and task-management flow, and have moved my Windows taskbar to the right-hand side of the secondary monitor on the right of my primary monitor.
Were you also instructed to never, ever, use those evil and crazy browsers known as Firefox and Google Chrome?
Part of my criteria for providing my services to employers is that I get full admin access on computers I use.

In our area we are not allowed to use the internet, since it will distract us from our work. We use computers to put number in mainly weights of samples and the like, so we don't use that, but those higher up do use those programs at home, but the real reason is that some people might not be a computer literate and only need to do what they need to do for the job, since much of the computer work is just so we have hard data to go against our manual work. Considering it is a laboratory, so much of our work is manual rather than computer work.
I see. About a third of our lab computers have internet/intranet access, mostly for moving data around. Usually you don't get to surf online, which sucks but I know they do it to improve productivity.
I used to live under the boot of an aggressive IT department which would stamp out all non-Windows software with ruthless efficiency. This was back before IE copied Firefox too, so we were stuck with really crappy browsers.

I think for official work it has to be M$ products, but I think most of those who do use the computers with internet access prefer using other products for their private work. Most of the people in the lab are just data entry for their work and after that they don't really need to know too much about computers. Just need to know how to use the LIMS system is really all that is needed. It is more brawns over brains our work, than the bosses work.
That's really clever, how you replaced the 'S' in 'MS' with a dollar symbol, because they're such a profitable company.
I thought IT people were supposed to be ahead of the software stupidity curve?
EDIT: This is worded pretty horribly but I think you know what I'm trying to say.
