Default computer illiterate and needing help

somehow my 5 year old has been on the computer and got the bar that goes on the bottom of the screen moved around. It is the bar with the clock on it, that is supposed to go horizontal across the bottom, is now vertical on the right side of the screen and i don't know how to get it back.She's done it once before but i cannot remember how to unscrew it up. thanks for any help.

right click on the bar and it will bring up the properties menu where you can change things

All you need to do is left click(keep preasure on the left button) on the task bar, then drag it back to the bottom. Simple.

And to keep it from happening again, right click on the task bar, then left click on "Lock The Taskbar".
