Hidden Taskbar loses focus

[jonathannah]

I have my task bar set to auto-hide. I have an ongoing issue where moving
the mouse to the bottom of the screen will not activate the task bar. Since
I have the "Window" key on my keyboard, I can get the task bar, but I also
have another hidden tool bar at the top of the screen, and once the task bar
is not activating, there seems to be no way to activate this tool bar except
to minimize all windows.

Is there a way to avert this problem?

Thanks.

Hi,
Try the "Restore taskbar to default functionality" script at
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Line 164.

If unsuccessful with that, you might try "Customize taskbar auto-hide
settings" on line 190.

Hope this helps,
Don
