Good Day,

I want to switch the position of start button with the notification area.
Means that like if we use XP in Arabic format the start menu button comes on
right ( bottom-right ) and notification area comes on left. I want to change
this act. I searched much on the net but found no important things. Waiting
for any replies.

Have a Nice Day,

I don't think it's possible to do what you want, but here's a way to
at least get the notification area on the bottom left:

Although by default the task bar appears on the bottom of the screen,
it can be on any of the sides you prefer it on. To move it from any
side to another, simply click on an unused part of it and drag it
where you want it. Be sure to click *within* it, not on the edge;
clicking on the edge and dragging will resize it, not move it.

If it won't move, it may be locked. In that case, right click on it
and uncheck "Lock the taskbar," then try again.

By the way, with today's wide-screen monitors, I prefer the task bar
on the left or right side of the screen. I think that makes a better
use of screen real estate than having it at the bottom. And if you put
it on the left side of the screen, it puts the notification area on
the bottom left.
