@merano, thank you, yes now it compiles fine after doing what you told me. but nothing happens when I run it, I don t know where is the problem.

@merano @Richard SetWindowPos does not change the taskbar position, it works with the self created appbars but not with the default windows taskbar, so the taskbar_resize.exe is not meant to change the taskbar position at all. to change the taskbar position I use another method but it uses autohotkey, I don t have a C code:
met1:

WinExist("ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd")
SendMessage,0x0231
;WinMove 1866, 0, 58, 1080 ; right
;WinMove -1866, 0, 58, 1080 ; left
;WinMove 1866, 1866 ; bottom
WinMove -1866, -1866 ; top
SendMessage,0x0232

met2: better

thank you for this excellent solution, unfortunately I could not compile it with VS 2013, i got this errors
LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _wprintf
LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _wcstol

I uploaded a compiled version for xp+ if someone need it, here: https://github.com/badrelmers/taskbar-resize/releases/tag/v1

it should be reversed I don't know why, it did not work for me otherwise!
