Folks,
Every so often, and today it started again, my Task Bar does not
auto-hide, despite having set that option in Properties. I have
checked-on: Auto-hide the taskbar, keep the taskbar on top of other
windows. Checked off is "lock the taskbar"
Yesterday it worked fine. Today it's broken.
I've tried re-setting these options from off to on and visa versa, with
no affect.
The problem with a task bar that does not auto-hide is that it covers up
the bottom of the window and I can't get easly to the controls under it.
A pain.
Only significant (that I can think of) change from yesterday and today
is that I accepted Microsoft's "invitation" to install updates (817606
and 823559). Update was intalled and I did a re-boot (re-boots rare on
this machine since XP is so reliable!).
I don't believe these updates affected this since I've seen this
behaviour before where auto-hiding just stopped. However, it is the
only thing I can think of which changed from yesterday to today.
