Hello Kelly,

Thanks for taking the time to respond - what did you mean by "Ask MS-PSS"? I had already downloaded the Taskbar Repair Tool Plus!, and then I found a link for "Customize Auto Hide Taskbar Settings" through the "Troubleshoot Windows XP" link you provided. W
hen I clicked the new link, however, a download for "TaskbarActivate.zip" was activated instead of opening an product info page, and I was unable to find any details on what it is, does, etc. I'd appreciate any addtional information you might provide - tha
nk you again, and enjoy your weekend!
