In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Point to an empty space on your taskbar, then right-click on it to bring up the taskbar menu. The taskbar is the bar in which the Start menu (or Windows logo) resides. Click on "Lock the taskbar." You will then see a blue checkmark appear to the left of this option after the taskbar has been successfully locked. You will not be able to resize or move your taskbar until you repeat this process to remove the checkmark. There are several ways you can adjust the taskbar. Try to adjust it to your liking before locking the taskbar in place. You can reposition the taskbar to the different edges of the monitor by clicking and holding on a blank space on the taskbar and moving the mouse to the edges of your monitor. You can also place the taskbar on a different monitor if you have more than one monitor connected to your computer. Click and hold on the edge of the taskbar to resize it. Your mouse cursor will appear as an ↔ icon. Click and hold the mouse button and slide the edge up or down when on the top or bottom of the viewspace or slide the edge left or right when on the sides of the viewspace.
Summary: Access the taskbar menu. Lock the taskbar to its current position. Position the taskbar to edges of the screen. Adjust the taskbar size.

. If you have fractions with whole numbers, changing them into improper fractions will make it easier to add. The numerators of your improper fractions will be larger than their denominators. For example, 6 3/8 + 9 1/24 will turn into 51/8 + 217/24. If the denominators are different, you'll need to write down the multiples of each denominator so you can find 1 that they have in common. For example, for the problem 51/8 + 217/24, list the multiples of 8 and 24 to find 24. Because the multiples of 8 include 8, 16, 24, 32, and 48 and the multiples of 24 include 24, 48, and 72, 24 is the lowest common multiple. The denominators should all become the lowest common multiple that you found. Multiply the whole fraction by a number to make the denominator the lowest common multiple. For example, to make the denominator for 51/8 become 24, multiply the whole fraction by 3. You should get 153/24. If the other fractions in your equation have different denominators, you'll also have to multiply them so they have the same denominator. If the fraction already has that as the denominator, you don't need to adjust the fraction. For example, if you're working with 217/24, you won't need to adjust the fraction since it already has the same denominator. You can add the numerators once the denominators are the same or if there were the same from the start. Once you've added the numerators, put the answer over the denominator. Avoid adding the denominators. For example, 153/24 +217/24 = 370/24. . If your numerator of your answer is larger than the denominator, you'll have to divide it to get a whole number. To finish making a mixed number, write down how many parts you have leftover. This will make the numerator which you can put over the same denominator. Keep reducing the fraction down until it's in its simplest form. For example, 370/24 will become 15 10/24 because 24 goes into 370 15 times and has 10 parts of 24 left over. 10/24 can be further reduced to 5/12 for a finished answer of 15 5/12.

One-sentence summary -- Turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions Look for the lowest common denominator if necessary. Make the fraction equivalent if you need to change the denominators. Change all of the fractions in the problem to make them equivalent. Add the numerators but leave the denominator the same, these don't change. Simplify your answer

Problem: Article: In addition to remaining constantly waterlogged, your pilings will be subjected to tiny organisms that feed on wood, so you need something that will hold up over time. Pressure-treated wood has been preserved with special chemicals that will help it last longer when it’s exposed to harsh outdoor conditions. It's also the most cost-effective option.  Other options for pilings include plastic-coated wood and heavy-duty aluminum. Typically, pilings should be 6–8 in (15–20 cm) in diameter, but if your deck will weigh more than 10,000 lb (4,500 kg), choose 10–12 in (25–30 cm) pilings.  You’ll need to place a post about every 10 ft (3.0 m) along the dock in order to support its weight. Often, your local home improvement store will allow you to rent high-powered tools like a water jetter (which may also be called a hydro jet) for a short amount of time. This will prevent you from having to pay full price for a tool that you won’t use very often.  The cost of renting a water jet will vary depending on your location and the length of time you need it. These high-powered water pumps typically run on gasoline, and they come with either a 2 in (5.1 cm) or 3 in (7.6 cm) diameter hose. Either size will work, but since the hose gets heavy when it’s full of water, the 2 in (5.1 cm) hose may be easier to use.  If you don’t have access to a water jetter, you may be able to use a high-pressure garden hose instead, but the process will probably take longer. As you start to sink the pilings, it can be hard to keep track of how far they’ve gone into the ground. By marking them with spray paint, it will be easier to make sure your pilings are all installed at the same depth. Burying the piling 4–6 ft (1.2–1.8 m) into the ground should give you a tight, secure fit. Your pier should sit about 3–4 in (7.6–10.2 cm) above the highest level the water will reach. Measure from the bed beneath the water to the maximum water line, then add on the depth that you plan to bury the pilings to get their total height.  Even in a body of water that isn’t affected by tides, the water level may still fluctuate. If you’re not sure what the maximum water line is, ask other pier or dock owners in your area. Cut the beams a little longer than you’ll need them. You can always trim them later if you need to. You’ll need to have 1-2 strong people to help you hold the piling in place, so bribe a few friends with lemonade and the promise of spending sunny days on the water. If you don’t have anyone who can help you, use sturdy pieces of wood and a pulley system to create a tripod that can lift and hold the pilings in place. The water will blow out of the hose with enough force to push the sand and silt out from under the piling. As this is happening, guide the piling further down into the earth until you reach the desired depth. If you need to, move the tip of the hose from side to side so the piling can go in evenly.  Repeat this process for the remaining pilings. If the force of the water isn’t enough to remove the sand, attach a PVC pipe with a 1 in (2.5 cm) diameter to the end of the hose to increase the pressure. Use the water jetter to push some of the dirt back into place after the piling is set.
Summary:
Choose pilings made of pressure-treated wood. Rent a 2–3 in (5.1–7.6 cm) water jet from a home improvement store. Spray paint your pilings at 12 in (30 cm) intervals to monitor their depth. Measure the beams according to the height of your pier or dock. Stand the first piling in the water. Aim the tip of the water jetter at the bottom of the piling and turn on the pump.
