Re: Moving vertical scrollbars from Right to Left Side of Windows

Those controls are within the operating system, except in programs (like
OneNote and GoBinder, for examples) where the program itself offers the
changes. I look for overall, system wide flexibility coming in the Longhorn
operating system, but until then we need to do the best we can with what is
given us.

Remember, setting "handedness" on a Tablet PC can accomplish certain things,
like where the drop-down menu items appear, and you certainly can put the
Taskbar on any side of your screen you wish. I'm right-handed, but prefer
to have the Taskbar on the left side of the screen - even on a desktop.
