    Disable auto-hide Taskbar mouseover popup?


    Hey.
    Is there any way to disable the taskbar popup when you hover your mouse over the edge of the screen with auto-hide on? I still want to have it appear when I press the Windows key, but have that hotspot area somehow disabled. I've tried the app by Prisoner, but that disables the whole taskbar, leaving only the orb...

    I need this for a Tablet PC i'm customising - I find that when I want to press controls near the edged of the screen, I hit that bloody hotspot area and get the taskbar instead of what I've been aming for. Also, disabling the taskbar completely would not work, since I need the notification icons (battery meter etc.). The tablet has a dedicated Windows button... and nothing else in the way of physical controls...

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Hi, Jerry and thank you for the welcome.

    I've tried Taskbar Activate, but, as far as I can tell, it does not disable the hotspot. It just adds a delay. That would be a non-perfect, but workable solution, however, it causes the Windows button to show only the Start Button/Menu when pressed, not the whole taskbar. I've e-mailed the author of the software, but seing how the last version is from 1999, I don't have high hopes for a reply. If you can think of another solution, I'd be be most grateful.

    Hi, I was looking for Windows setting to unhide the taskbar gently from the left side so the taskbar won't unhide automatically when my mouse is really near the hotspot.

    I found "Customize Auto Hide Taskbar Settings" on Troubleshooting Windows XP, Tweaks and Fixes for Windows XP line 190 within the dark html table.

    It work really good, there is a few tweaks to try and get it working beautifully.

    Hera are my settings for TaskBar Activate
