Now you can set the preferred setting as listed below. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. If the subkey \explorer does not exist, create it as explained below. Then, create the dword values noclosedragdropbands and nomovingbands, in the right panel. Now, right-click and modify their value to 1 to change the taskbar settings. However, if you want to get back to the original state, change the value to 0 or delete the added values.
