I just want my task bar to be at the top of my screen

Question

I already know the answer, as I have to download a FUCKING MOD to move it to the top of the screen. How the FUCK do we get a new windows, but we don't have the same custom-ability that we've had from older generations. How do these people function? Literally, it's 2024 and we still have to use 3rd party apps to get a simple feature that has existed for decades. I really wish I invested time into learning Linux so I'd never have a stupid issue like this.

Hello

1. Open Regedit: typing "regedit" into the Run menu (Windows + R)
2. Locate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3.
3. Open the Settings key for Editing by double-clicking it.
4. Change the fifth value in the second row from "03" to "01." You can do this by deleting the 03 and then typing 01. Click Ok.
5. If you are using multiple monitors and want the taskbars on those screens to also be on top, you should change the same values to 01 for all registry keys in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MMStuckRects3 folder. If you don't have multiple monitors, this folder won't exist.
6. Close Regedit.
7. Launch the command prompt in administrative mode. You can do that by searching for "cmd," right clicking the top result and selecting "Run as administrator." Click Yes if prompted to confirm.
8. Stop and restart the explorer.exe process by entering taskkill /f /im explorer.exe and hitting Enter followed by start explorer.exe. Stop and restart the explorer.exe process.   Best Regards, Wesley Li ============================================ If the Answer is helpful, please click "Accept Answer" and upvote it.
