I am using XP SP3, I am trying to look at a series of .mov files in a
folder, one file at a time.
When I double click on one of the .mov files, it quite naturally
executes Quicktime V7.0 to 'play' the .mov, since that is the default
for .mov files.
What I don't like is that Quicktime always opens to play the .mov with
its 'play' button (and its other controls too) hidden behind the task
bar at the bottom of the screen.
I can manually shrink Quicktime's window so as to expose the play
button, but how can I make Quicktime come up automatically on top of
the task bar, so's I can see the quicktime controls?

This may be a dumb question, and if so, I am sorry. But I really
would like to know.

Anyone?

Move the mouse to a blank area on the taskbar, right-click, select
Properties and in the Taskbar appearance window uncheck "Keep ther taskbar
on top of other windows".
