Just now did that. No difference. Hmmmm.....

I did, however, find this: Hide Taskbar - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com

That might be worth a try! Looks like it got good reviews. If you decide to go with it please post back here with the results so we can help others. Good luck!

Maybe I'm on to something here. When I closed the "Steam" icon, (a holding place for games), the bar closed. I guess the weight of the icon was too much for the bar to lift. The only issue now, is keeping that icon fron re-appearing in the systray.

Easy enough. Right click on the icon when it is in the system tray > settings > interface > uncheck run steam when computer starts. That should do it

Done.

So that program did exactly what you wanted it to do?

Dunno, haven't used it yet. It would seem that the "Steam" icon was causing the issue. I'll give it another couple of days to see. That program would be my last resort after I exhaust my other options.

So far, as of today, the task bar is still hidden. Possibly, SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker had something to do with it. I have no idea, but, it's as good a reason as any. Thanks for your help.
