Desktop Turned upside Down

[Oscarfabricant]

The start icon which is usually at the bottom left hand corner of my desktop has on its very own moved to the top righ hand corner of the screen. How do I return it to its rightful place ?
Windows XP is the operating system

grab an edge of it and give a quick flick while holding down the left mouse button toward one of the sides, when it flips to the side do it again toward the bottom...

This only works if the taskbar is not locked. To check, right click on the start/task bar. One of the options on the menu presented will be "lock the taskbar". If it is checked, you won't be able to move it.

Once you have it back where you want it, locking it would be a good idea to prevent it from moving on you again.
