Guest EszterLud Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 A friend did who knows what with her XP and now: the taskbar hides the bottom of all windows (incl. scrollbars, etc) both in maximized and normal size mode. The taskbar is set to "always visible", "auto-hide" is off, "lock" is on. I never seen such a thing in my life, I'm totally buffled what she might have done. I have tried to set the resolution back and forth, switch locked and auto-hide, restart...nothing helps. Maybe she clicked a shortcut, but I do not see logic in taskbar hiding the bottom of windows. Anyone encountered something similar? Or is it some kind of bug?
