Guest JCC Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 after I have been working for a bit, my Taskbar stops the autohide feature and sits over my workspace. I have searched several times for this in these pages but have had no luck finding any information on it. I am runnig Windows XP professional, updates are current, but I've been having this issue off and on for a while, its just getting really annoying so I thought I would ask for help with it.
Guest Kelly Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Re: Taskbar Stops Autohiding after a bit Here is the solution: in Taskbar properties, you have to check "Autohide" and also "Keep Taskbar always on top". The latter check is counterintuitive but it works.

Guest JCC Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 Re: Taskbar Stops Autohiding after a bit Actually they both are checked, I find sometimes if I uncheck them both, apply and then re-check them both that it works for a bit again. but usually I end up having to shutdown and restart to clear it for a bit. I have noticed though, that it seems to happen more frequently when I have any of the Office 2000 apps running, I use Word a lot so this shows up with that, but when I was messing with Winamp, it started to work for a bit again, kind of weird, Does the Office apps load a GUI add on that might mess with this ?

I have the same problem from time to time and having both checked seems to make no difference. I have a feeling there is some process that causes the taskbar to un-hide and some how locks it there - not to overload you with technical jargon ;-) I need to re-apply the hide setting to get it to work again, (short of restarting).
