    I can move the taskbar from the buttom of the screen to the top.

    Ideally, I would like the clock and internet monitor at the top right, and the
    Windows button and the webpages at the buttom.

    I think I will have to settle for all either at the top or the bottom, am I correct?

    Thanks

    Nope. Task Bar can be moved to right and left just as easily. Only thing is, these days, most monitors are much wider than high, so they won't be as long, if you want 100 different icons pinned to it, like some people do, lol.

    I think you missed the point of his post. He does not want to merely move the taskbar to the top, right, or left edge of the screen, he wants to split it between two locations, apparently on one monitor. I think he clearly stated that.

    I do not know of a way to do that.

    It was a long time ago, but pretty sure I had two instances of Sidebar running simultaneously with Win Vista Ultimate, many Moons ago, just to see if it could be done also. But don't see why anyone would need to. Or am I missing something?

    FYI and regarding the "Adding gadgets to your Vista Sidebar": the OP has an alternate Windows Sidebar thread open here.
