Problem with taskbar hiding the bottom of window

[Guest EszterLud]

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?

Maybe Keep Taskbar On Top of other Windows is checked?

Drag the window upwards and then shorten it at the bottom.

Checkpoints:

 

De-select auto hide the taskbar

Select keep the taskbar on top of other windows
