I've been experimenting with having my taskbar on the left side because I have such a wide screen on my laptop and so much unused vertical space. However, when I put it on the side, the start button goes to the top. I'm curious if there is any way to reverse it so that the start bar is still on the bottom. I realize that this would mean that if the taskbar was on the bottom, the start button would be on the right, and I've never seen that before. So, I'm not expecting much, but does anyone have an idea?

If you use Windows XP you can try TClock Light.
It can hide the start button and make clicking on the clock open the start menu.
It's main function though is to customize the clock display so if you don't need that you would need to go to misc in options and check "Do Not Customize Clock".
If you are using Windows Vista I have no idea.
Yeah. I would possibly use a sidebar, but I already have so many memory hogs running.. I need to do some trimming. Also, I have an icon-less desktop, and a sidebar might disturb the feng shui. =) If I need a sidebar, I'll just resort to the quick launch toolbar. My main concern is browsing the web; a lot of pages are built in portrait format, including this one. I have a sidebar for Firefox, but even with it extended I still have about 2 or 3 inches of wasted space. What a weird development.. wider screens and skinner webpages.
