taskbar annoyance

[Guest Paul Pedersen]

I use applications that have buttons near the bottom of the screen. If I

move the mouse to those buttons and click, the taskbar unexpectedly jumps up

and intercepts the click.

 

I assume that Windows thinks it is being helpful, but this is really a pia.

How can I turn off this "feature"?

 

"Enhance pointer precision" is off.

Uncheck "auto hide taskbar"?

You can probably skirt the problem by relocating your taskbar on the

TOP of the screen.

But I WANT it to auto-hide. I just don't want it to pop up unless the cursor

actually gets over that little bar. "Approaching it" isn't what I want.

 

But thanks anyway.

Thanks, but then I'd have to move the Task Bar around from edge to edge,

depending on which application is in the foreground. That's a worse problem

than I have now.

Is it anything to do with "snap to"?

I don't think so. That's turned off.
