Default Make taskbar "always on top" ?

Is there any way to make the taskbar stay on top?
On some "full screens" I would like to open some other program.

Yes, I do have it not "autohide" but full screen videos hide it.

Thanks

You mean other than dragging it to the top of the screen?

Tap the Start key on the keyboard. Some programs won't interfere with
bringing up the Start menu. Some do but you may try Ctrl+Alt+Del and
then maybe hit the Start key.

You can also define a hotkey in the shortcut for a program - as long as
the program with focus doesn't steal that key combo or intercept all key
scan codes.

Anything fullscreen is, well, full screen. Video games are often
fullscreen. Some won't let me out of the game. Some I use Ctrl+Alt+Del
to temporarily get out. I've not bothered defining hotkeys for
shortcuts.

If you are running something in "full screen" like a movie... use
Alt-Tab to cycle back to the "regular" desktop, run what ever you want
to run and Alt-Tab again to go back to the movie
