hello again. i posted this before but i dont think i made myself clear. the
program that i use runs in full screen mode, it is not a window, it takes up
the whole screen. I need to quickly look at progress of other thing on the
task bar, but i cannot get it to only show the task bar when i push the start
key, rather than show the start menu and bring up the whole desktop. For
example. if i am in the program (full screen now desktop or task bar showing)
and need to look at the minimized window thing (in the task bar) i have to
push the start/windows key, this minimizes the FULL SCREEN program, and whips
out the start menu. I do not want this to happen as my computer is very slow
in gettin the program to show again. So i guess the ultimate question
is...how do i get the task bar to stay on top of all other Program screens,
full screens, and applicatoins. i think the program intentionally blocks the
task bar, but i dont know how i would change this. thank you all
 
Full screen (for Dos programs) is windows handing control over to the application. Your app and Windows can't both control the same screen.
