The Windows taskbar is the bar is located where the start button on the left side of it, and the clock on the right side. Usually located at the bottom of the screen because the default setup is configured as is.

But often, for any reason, such as changing the subject of windows, for any program that is easier to use if the taskbar is not annoying, or simply because we like to change the site gives us the element that wins. Interest may change this bar and place it in any other position.

Also by default the task bar is set to be blocked and therefore can not vary or size, or position. So the steps to change the position or size would be:

1. Step: First it should be noted that we can change the position or size of the taskbar, for doing this The only thing that has to do is place your mouse over the taskbar, and make a click with the right mouse button. In performing this action is presented in the context menu screen for the taskbar. This is a menu option called Lock the Taskbar, which should appear in your left side with a signal, this signal indicates that the option is enabled, therefore it has to make a click on this option to disable the Lock the taskbar.

2. Step Two: Once the lock off if we want to change the size for the height of the taskbar, is to place your mouse over the edge of the bar, where we're at the edge when the mouse pointer take the form of a double arrow tip pointing up and down. Once the pointer is located click the left mouse button and hold it while dragging the mouse. By doing this you can see how changing the size of the bar when the size you want to simply release the mouse button.

3. Step: If you want to change the position or location of the taskbar, the action has done is put the mouse pointer on a portion of the taskbar where there is nothing, ie on same task bar, not on a button to an application or something like that. Once located the mouse pointer in this position, do a click with the left mouse button and hold down the button while dragging the taskbar to the left, right or top of the screen that appears to look at the position the bar where we want to make a rectangular frame made up of small dots, when you see this mark in the correct position just release the mouse button and the taskbar is moved to that position. Depending on the configuration and graphics windows is possible that rather than a brand itself appears taskbar completely drawn.

4th. Step Two: Once placed in the taskbar with its position and the size you want, would have to fix it, for it has simply re-click on the option discussed in Step 1 Lock the Taskbar.

Here we are again!. Following requests from users I will include "tricks" or actions that can be performed with the operating system, so they will be compiling a series of actions that allow the use of the system adequately.

In this trick we will first see how the change of name for a file or folder on the Windows XP operating system.

The first step will be to select or mark the file or folder to which you want to change the name, for doing this is to simply place your mouse over the object in question and make a click with the left mouse button.

Then there are several ways to change the name, I always recommend the user to choose which one you like best or that it is easier to remember.

Option 1: After selecting the file or folder is to place the mouse pointer on the File menu, which is usually located in the upper left of the window, click on this option displays the menu and appears in an option called Rename.

Option 2: After being selected file or folder, hold your mouse pointer over the object in question and do a click with the right mouse button. In performing this action is presented in a menu screen (this is called contextual menu) and select the option called Rename.

Option 3: After selecting the object in the task pane of the window located on the left side of it, there is a option called Rename a file or folder.

Option 4: After selecting the file or folder, you will notice that the name of it is highlighted in another color, we simply re-click on the text that makes up the name and wait a bit.

Any of the four options above will cause the file or folder name is highlighted and display a box around it, at this point is to type the new name you want to give the order and confirm it either by clicking the Enter key or clicking with the mouse anywhere else.

Good!, The first serious download truetype font that might interest us, there are many sites from which we can make this download, then you are some:

www.fontreactor.com
www.fuentesbrillantes.com
fuentes.laislavirtual.com

After downloading the sources you want to install, these normally come in compressed files in which there is also some file that specifies the authors of the source or use restrictions that might have it. So you have to unzip the files needed to get the files. Ttf (True Type Font), which are the files that interest us.

Once we have the font files, we check the source directory in which the sources are installed on your system, which normally / usr / share / fonts / and if this were not normally defined in the file fonts . conf that is located on the / etc / fonts / in this file located in the first part of a series of directories indicating where you can find situated the sources, the following example shows a list of directories can find:

/ usr / share / fonts /
/ usr/share/X11/fonts /
/ usr / local / share / fonts /
~ /. fonts /

Once you've checked the directories where you can find the sources, probably in the installation directory of the sources there will be a directory called truetype, which are certainly the source of this type installed on your computer. Yet we create a new directory in which to install the new fonts we've downloaded. To do this, suppose that the directory to be created will be called misfuentes therefore this step to execute the following command:

mkdir / usr / share / fonts / misfuentes

This will create the directory "misfuentes" once this copy the source downloaded and unzipped, it only archives. Ttf, andalusia directory. assuming you have unpacked the sources in a directory called "sources" within our own, the command to execute would be:

cp / home / ro / fonts / *. ttf / usr / share / fonts / misfuentes /

The previous action copied all fonts downloaded to the directory where we want to install them. Now it has to update the font cache system to reflect the new fonts installed on your computer. To do this execute the following command:

fc-cache-f

The previous action updates the cache, so the sources that we have installed on your computer should be reflected in the equipment and system. If you have any application that uses open source, new sources are not installed to reflect the application restart.

You must bear in mind that the package 'fontconfig' has to be installed on the system.

Good! in the previous comment, there is talk of installing uxtheme patch for the Windows operating system and thus be able to install new themes, then we will show how to download and install a new topic so that you can select the display properties using the operating system itself .

Step 1) We must first find and download files for the item you want to install, then you get some links that will allow you to view sites with themes (also called visual styles are "visual styles") and you can select the want to download:

• www.deviantart.com
• www.softonic.com
• www.crystalxp.net

These are just some of the sites where you can find items for your system, however you can always use google and searching for any of these concepts: visual styles, windows xp themes, xp visual styles, themes for windows, etc. ...

In my case I will select a topic from the site www.deviantart.com to do this go into the browser and click the site address. on the homepage of the site can be seen in the upper left side a button called "categories" (categories), clicking displays a menu which has the option of selecting Customization (Improvement), clicking on the option shows another menu in which we select the option Skins & Themes (Skins and Themes), clicking again will select the option that says Windows utilities (Utilities Windows) and finally select the option Visual Styles (Visual Styles). Clicking on this option will load a new page which presents the visual styles for windows posted to this site over the last 24 hours, to have more pressing issues to choose the option that says 1 month (1 months) or All Time (all), that show visual styles sent for 1 month or all. Pressing the page is reloaded and show us many more topics. In our case we sought and we will install a theme called Clearlooks Gummy, for doing this when we have located the preview of the theme we are interested click on it and we see a new page which is a preview issue bigger than the previous submission and in the upper left is a download link called download, simply make a click on the link and start the download, if for any reason there is a page of advertising deviantart we push to continue on the download link at the top right of the window called click here to continue to deviantart (click here to continue on deviantart) and immediately starts the download of the item as a compressed file. Since you asked us if we want to open or save this answer has been that we want to store or save the file to a folder on your computer.

Step 2) Once downloaded the file item rioja andalusia decompress in a folder and can see that there is a folder called gummy in which are the following files and folders: gummy.msstyles which corresponds to the file you want to install themes A folder called walls, which are the wallpapers for our desktop (wallpapers) and another folder called shell containing variations of color and shape on the original theme. Well as we need to copy the file gummy.msstyles in the Themes folder, found in the Resources folder and this in turn inside the folder on your hard disk where Windows is installed the system. We now also copy the folder Shell at the same site and with our theme this action should have been installed.

Step 3) in the performance of our new theme is installed, has access to display settings in the section of topics and well in the section on issues or in terms of appearance should appear in a new item called gummy andalusia select it and click on will change the look of the Windows operating system. If for any reason the item is not a possible solution is to go to the Themes folder where we installed the theme and make a double click on the file for the subject in this case gummy.msstyles, this will force windows to load of the item appearing on the display properties dialog box display, which will allow us to change the configuration of the item or accept the subject as it is loaded.

Step 4) Lastly we have simply select a wallpaper, in keeping with our theme, these are walls in the folder that we copied earlier, you must enter that folder and make a click with the right mouse button on the screen that we are interested in, a context menu which has the option to select Set as wallpaper. Remember that many subjects do not have to come accompanied by their corresponding backgrounds, in this case select the one you like more.

Well we finished!
