cause the taskbar to *DELAY* before it pops up when in AutoHide mode

I've searched and searched and can't find whether this is possible, so I
thought I would toss it out here...

I like to set the TaskBar to AutoHide it. However, occasionally I swing
the mouse pointer near the edge of the screen to do something else, and
the TaskBar comes out of hiding "accidentally". Then I have to move
away to hide it, and try again. This can be annoying.

What I was wondering if there was some Registry value I could tweak (or some
program I can use ) to
cause the taskbar to *DELAY* before it pops up when in AutoHide mode.
That is, I would only like the TaskBar to come out of hiding when I
hover the cursor at the edge of the screen for a second or two, not
immediately.

I already know about the TweakUI setting which controls menu pop-up
speed. I have that set, but it doesn't give me what I am looking for
here. Any ideas?

I found a utility called "taskbar activate" that does this with the main
taskbar,
and partly for secondary bars,but I wanted it mostly for a secondary toolbar
on the top of the screen without having the effect on the main taskbar.

Just added this for people googling
