Solved taskbar always on top (DISABLE)

[dsw274]

I would very much like to DISABLE the always on top feature of the task bar in windows 7. build 7077.

The only way (that i know of) is to 'Auto Hide' the taskbar, just right-click the taskbar and select properties.



P.S sorry for the late reply

I have tried and tried with those registry entries. They must not be compatible with the x64 version of windows 7. That's the only thing i can guess, because i'v tryed everything on that page brink, and nothing disabled the "always on top" feature, I have build 7077 x64. Thank you for your help, but that page did nothing for me.


how can i disable the always on top feature of the task bar in windows 7 build 7077x64? Brink, anyone?

anyone?

It seems that Microsoft has removed the Taskbar Always on Top option in the newer builds of Windows 7. The only workaround that I know of is Auto hide for now.

I have several ASUS EEE PCs and I really need this feature ON, since it allows me to use the netbook screen more efficiently /it has a really small display/. M$ will push be to turn back to WinXP. I wonder if there's a registry record or something else that could enable the program windows to show over the taskbar?

Please search around next time...

Well, I've searched and found this thread.

Thanks, your solution works fine!

The "disable taskbar always on top" patch worked fine a long time. But a few Windows-Updates ago it stopped to work: When started an error message says "unknown explorer version". Is there any possibility to fix this?

This would be really cool, without this behavior the taskbar really sucks, cause every program related to time (Video, Animation, Sound, Flash etc.) has the timeline at the bottom of the screen. So everytime you get there not really precisely the taskbar comes up again...

Hello Indynaut, and welcome to Seven Forums.

This may be able to help have the patch work again until there's a new release of the patch available.

Taskbar On top

You shouldn't need to use any application to fix this issue. It's supposed to just work as intended. When the full app takes over there should be no overlap of the taskbar, obviously this is wrong. I have several machines using the same build of Windows 7 Ultimate and I'm only having issues with 1.

My HP Pavilion, Gateway, XPS One, Dell Latitude E6400 and Dell Latitude D630 have no issues but my Vostro 330 just recently has had this problem when running anything in Full Screen. There's a mix of AMD/Intel and Nvidia/Intel/AMD.

They are all up to date and run the same applications. It seems like this could be something related to the video driver. Which is odd since it shouldn't, but then again I've seen drivers affect windows theme issues. Here's what I'm thinking.. OSRI!

I don't see any other way out of it. I doubt the update did this. I've got known good systems with the same software.. the only variable is drivers.

Hey guys theres lots of people asking on this site and the program recommended no longer works
but I found a solution it was posted briefly on the disable taskbar program thread but an admin deleted the thread idk why?



Anyways for everyone else that has this problem i found a solution!!



Download rammichael.com/7-taskbar-tweaker



Right click the 7TT icon on the taskbar after run -> Advanced options -> click disable_topmost ->

enter 2 (from 0) -> click apply and ok

*note the program has to run for the fix to work so set it to run at startup during install



This program does lots of things but this will let your taskbar stay in place and allow it to be covered by windows.

Nope, never been that way, think you refer to fullscreen/borderless when a window however needs to use the space the taskbar is on to fully display however the task bar is by default covering bits.

Thanks futureairways for the fix to this annoying problem with the taskbar. I have my taskbar auto hide to give me more screen space but there were lots of tray icons which kept demanding attention every few minutes and really distracting me while I am doing other things. These icons are utterly useless such as Notepad++ launcher which takes over from Notepad so that Notepad++ opens txt files. There is meant to be a way to install it so that the tray icon does not show, which I did have working but it no longer will install that way. Besides, there are other icons which also seem to think that they are sooooo important and keep demanding that I click them every few minutes. They are totally irrelevant and of no importance whatsoever.

The best part about it is that taskbar tweaker I already have and use, mainly to add seconds display to the windows clock and I did not realize that it could keep the taskbar below other windows. Now it all stays at the bottom out of my way until I press the left windows key. BTW I have the clock at the bottom of my browser statusbar with flipclock extension.
