    Taskbar autohide feature


    Is there a way to increase the speed in which the taskbar appears/disappears in autohide mode?

    The only way that I know how to do this is to change the 'Fade or slide menus into view' settings.

    Goto:
    Control Panel
    System and Security - System
    Advanced System Settings
    Advanced Tab
    Performance - Settings
    Under the 'Visual Effects' Tab , untick 'Fade or slide menus into view'
    Click Apply

    You lose the animation of the auto-hide taskbar popping up, but it's undoubtedly faster as it will appear instantly.

    Thanks, that's pretty much exactly how I wanted it to be.

    A shameless bump, this is.

    Without completely turning off these animations, is there a registry tweak to make it show/hide, like, 75ms or so?

    I think that would be really cool
