Note what Microsoft has said about the taskbar: "Alignment to the bottom of the screen is the only location allowed." Screens are much wider than they are tall, if this has to be fixed it should be on the left/right side of the screen. (As appropriate for the direction in which you read, i.e. left-to-right or right-to-left).
