annoying -- the task bad refuses to hide...

[cfman]

Hi all,

To save screen space, I made my Windows XP task bar "auto-hide".

And also to increase efficiency, I put a lot stuff such as quick launch
links and addresses on my task bar. I also like to open many windows
simultaneously. Thus my task bar is quite a large rectangle.

Ideally, the task bar should "auto-hide", and then when I need it, I just
need to hove my mouse around the bottom of the screen, then it will pop up.

However, a lot of times, the task bar refuses to hide, what's wrong with
that? I knew there are something happen, but just couldn't figure out why it
does not hide... everytime it refuses to hide, it became quite chaotic.
Since many application windows were covered by the unhidden taskbar...

Any thoughts?

(also, sometimes it refuses to pop up, but there is less annoying, because I
can always resort to "Ctrl-Esc" to get the task bar out...)

It's not a free software...

And I don't how will it help me?

Everytime my taskbar doesn't hide, I have to run this program?

That sounds strange...

Look in utilities for XP, customize auto hide taskbar settings
Sorry, didn't know the other cost anything, the above should work and be
free too..

Instead of downloading software that takes over that function, I was wondering if there's a registry mod or something to do native to Windows to fix this problem.
