Taskbar won't autohide after SP2 install

[Guest]

Hi

I'm not sure whether this is related or just a coincidence (seems unlikely)
but ever since installing SP2 I can't get the taskbar to autohide itself.
I've (obviously) tried messing with all the properties of the taskbar, and
they all seem to work as normal, except the taskbar stubbornly sits there
even when autohide is checked.

Anyone got any ideas?

Check to make sure that it is not locked. Right click it and uncheck "Lock
the Taskbar.

I don't know if this will help but take a look at the edit on Kelly's
site, line 190:

Hi,

I have this problem happening sporadically on XP and W2K systems. Sometimes
the Autohide works, sometimes it doesn`t want to work. I don`t think its a
SP2 related thing, since I always had this problem with XP SP1, SP2, and W2K
systems.
