Dock your Windows 7 taskbar on the side to increase screen real estate

Lately I’ve taken to using the Windows 7 taskbar on the right side of my screen rather than the bottom. It takes a lot of getting used to – I constantly find myself hovering to the bottom of the screen to bring up a program (muttering “dumbarse” to myself upon realising), but now I’m settling in to the idea of it being on the right. I actually kinda like it. It frees up a lot of space on the screen (especially as I have a 22″ monitor as my main screen now) since there’s more horizontal space than vertical on widescreen monitors.

Try it for yourself for a week and let me know how you get on in the comments below!
