Garry,

Go here...
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Read the instructions at the top.
Scroll down to...
128. Task Bar Lock - Task Bar Unlock
Click on Task Bar Lock.

After taskbarlock.reg is merged into the registry, the Taskbar will be
locked and cannot be moved. In the right click menu, Lock the Taskbar is
grayed out and cannot be changed.

I tried it to see what it would do.

Is this what you're looking for?
