Whenever I (properly) reboot my IBM Thinkpad, the icons in the tasbar change position. This was not the case for the first 2 years of use. How does one lock the bottom taskbar in W2K?

Hi, you don't say which icons exactly; presumably not those in the System Tray.
If it's any help, for years I've used 'Iconlock' from PC Mag (when its utilities were free). This is a small program that locks and guards many areas from random changes and allows you, e.g. to keep your desktop icons where you want them, not where windows wants them, recoverable after a crash, change of resolution, Safe Mode etc. Lock taskbar is one option.
(I also use Traywizard to protect and recover System Tray icons after an explorer crash- they're lost in 2000 and XP when explorer crashes)
