For Taskbar settings, on the "start" bar, usually across the bottom of windows xp by default unless you've moved it, find a "clear" space (not on a button), and right click there. Then pick properties. On my machine, even if it looks like there's buttons all across the bottom, there's always a little strip between the buttons and the "desktop" at the right. Also another one between the actual "start" button and any buttons for apps you are running.
I do that all the time to get to "show desktop", so you should see that on the context menu that appears on the right click. But what you want for this is the "properties" item.
