Why does my task bar refuse to hide?

[Guest Al Dykes]

I prefer the "auto-hide" setting for the task bar. The task bar will

 

behave properly for weeks and then for no apparent reason cease to

 

hide. When I go to the task bar properties panel, the appropriate box

 

is still checked.

 

 

 

I can generally fix the behavior by unchecking and checking the

 

auto-hide box but not always. Right now my task bar is always visible

 

and I can't fix it.

 

 

 

This is a W7 system but my XP systems occasionally do the same thing.

 

 

 

Can anyone point to a solution?

 

 

 

Thanks.
