It’s easy to move the Taskbar to a different edge of the screen on a Windows machine, but how do you move the Mac’s row of program icons from the bottom of the screen
The Windows Taskbar â€" that row of program icons and open files that typically appears along the bottom edge of the screen â€" can be moved to the top or sides of the desktop by dragging it with the mouse, or in some later versions of Windows, by unlocking it first before dragging. The Dock, the Mac’s rough equivalent of the Taskbar, can also be moved to other edges of the screen in a few ways.
One method is to click the Mac’s Apple menu up in the top-left corner of the screen, select Dock nd slide over to the submenu with the commands to position the dock on the left or right sides of the desktop. This same sub-menu holds options for automatically hiding the Dock on the screen until you pass the mouse cursor nearby, as well as the option for magnifying the icons stocked in the Dock when you pass the cursor over.
The Apple menu can take you right to the Dock’s settings in the Mac’s System Preferences if you want to fine-tune things further. You can also get to these settings by clicking the System Preferences icon in the Dock itself and clicking the Dock icon. In addition to the controls for positioning the Dock on the desktop, the preferences box contains settings for changing the overall size of it, adjusting the magnification size of the icons and other visual aspects of the Dock.
