Auto-hide Taskbar Fails to Auto-hide
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 |

HI! You can use this nifty 3rd party free software to hide the taskbar and re-enable it when you need to! On a personal note i find the taskbar in Win.7 a wonder! Different strokes for different folks,i guess!

You should not have to use a 3rd party to get your Taskbar to do this. The only thing I can suggest is set it to auto hide/apply/okay. It shouldn't take a reboot but it doesn't cost anything.

Why won't the taskbar auto-hide? Anyone else seen this. I cannot get the task bar to auto hide. I tell it to auto-hide, but it always stays on top, which is annoying because it covers other useful stuff.. Any help appreciated.. |

Taskbar (Auto-Hide) doesn't hide all the way? My friend was wandering how you could get rid of that barely top part of the task bar when it is in auto-hide. So is this possible? Note: You have to look really close to see it. |
