Some reason when I try to check my auto-hide toolbar in Vista, I get a window
that says, "A toolbar is already hidden on this side of your screen. You can
have only one auto-hide toolbar per side".

Yet, I don't have another toolbar hideen, and I'm only using one screen...!?

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks in advanced...

Sounds like the sidebar. You can move that to the left in the options.

Tried that. Unfortunetly didn't work.

I think its a bug, vista thinks I have another toolbar/taskbar hidden when I
really don't. Is there a reg setting or something I can to reset its variabel?

Open Task Manager and Regedit.

<shift>+<ctrl>+<right-click> on the Start Menu & select 'Exit Explorer'

In Regedit, navigate to:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]

delete the value named 'Toolbars'.

In Task Manager, select 'File' -> 'New Task' -> type 'explorer' to restart
the shell.

If that doesn't do the trick, repeat deleting 'TaskbarWinXP' as well. (I
can't test right now).
