    Window Nagging with Auto-hide Taskbar


    I would really like to see MS pay more attention to the auto-hide feature of windows.

    As is, if you have auto hide turned out, and a program needs attention the entire taskbar pops up and leave the flashing button flashing. It's been like that as far as I can remember. With the new compacted taskbar icons it would awesome if, when a program/window needs attention only the corresponding icon popped up instead of the entire bar.

    Like a manilla folder tab peeking up.

I set the Taskbar tab (in Taskbar & Start menu Properties) to Auto-hide the Taskbar. When I select Apply, the taskbar dips and disappears for a second and then comes right back and stays there. Is there a way to make the auto-hide work? W7 Home 6.1 / 7600 Thank you
Is this possible? I want to make it so that when no windows are maximized (when the taskbar isn't covered with anything) auto hide disables itself and the taskbar is shown. Is this possible?
I do not know if this is possible but ever since I switched to windows 7 it seems to me the task bar takes up an annoying amount of space and just throws off the flow when I'm reading websites. I could set the taskbar to autohide but I like the taskbar to be up at all times except when a window is...
