sonic --- Thanks but I've played around with that menu over and over. It hasn't seemed to make a difference. The problem isn't getting it to work the first time. It does that (after a reboot). The problem is trying to keep it working. After a few minutes, a few hours or a day, the auto hide feature stops working and the task bar remains visible constantly. When this happens, I can't see whatever part of the screen that's covered by the task bar. (Besides, I like a clean desktop.) I don't care for a side bar (I prefer the task bar at the bottom of the desktop) but I'm trying that now to see if it makes any difference. I've tried to duplicate the error but it happens under different circumstances every time.
