    Taskbar loses the Always on top property


    Hi All,

    I've noticed an odd behavior recently, after my computer has been running while the task bar no longer stays ontop of my windows. If I go into the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog, and check and uncheck the auto-hide option, it regains its always on top preference. I end up having to do this every couple of hours though.

    I've tried running with both auto-hide enabled and disabled and both will lose their always on top preference after a while.

    I did some quick Googling and didn't see anything related to this, I was curious if anyone else has seen something similar to this on their Windows7 boxes?

    Thanks,

    Kevin.
