    Task Bar, set it under programs


    Hi,
    I hate this taskbar in RC x64, I want to set it just like XP and Vista that it can be set to allow other programs to be on top of it.

    Can that be done ?

    Hello Dinny and Noyb,

    Sorry, but the option to disable the "Taskbar Always on Top" setting has been disabled in Windows 7 and cannot be changed.

    You can set the taskbar to auto-hide as a workaround instead if you like though.

    Theyl likely look at it as someones PoV rather than a feature suggestion.

    Hopefully it may be something simple that they could just unlock to add back.
