dissappearing start toolbar

[Kathy]

My start toolbar used to be on top of all files AND be there all the time!
Today when I booted this toolbar disappears unless I scroll my mouse to the
bottom of the screen. How do I change this back to the way I like it?

Tahnks!

Right click on the taskbar(start toolbar) in an empty space where there are
no buttons > left click properties > uncheckmark auto-hide the taskbar > and
checkmark keep the taskbar on top > click apply and ok. Good Luck

Try this...

Right click the Taskbar | Properties | Taskbar tab |
Check these two:
Lock the taskbar
Keep the taskbar on top of other windows
UNCheck: Auto-hide the taskbar |
Click Apply | Click OK

Auto-hide the taskbar
[[Hides the taskbar. To redisplay the taskbar, point to the area of your
screen where the taskbar is located. If you want to be sure that your
taskbar will be visible whenever you point to it, select the Keep the
taskbar on top of other windows check box and also select the Auto-hide the
taskbar check box.]]

Keep the taskbar on top of other windows
[[Ensures that the taskbar is always visible, even when you run a program in
a maximized (full-screen) window.]]

Lock the taskbar
[[Locks the taskbar at its current position on the desktop so that it cannot
be moved to a new location and also locks the size and position of any
toolbar displayed on the taskbar so that it cannot be changed.]]
