Windows Forum / Windows XP / Basics / December 2006Taskbar in foreground
Hi, This sounds like the hokiest question in the world, but somehow, I managed to do something so that my taskbar shows up "over" all my other things I got open. So now, if I have I.E. open for example, I can't see the bottom of the I.E. screen as the taskbar hides it. I've tried everything I can think of to make it go back to the way it was with no luck. Any suggestions? Replied to [Doug]s message : > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > everything I can think of to make it go back to the way it was with no > luck. Any suggestions? Right click Taskbar > Properties Uncheck "Autohide taskbar" AND Tick "Keep taskbar on top of windows" → Ayush [ Good :-) Luck ] ------------- Search - www.Google.com | Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org Snip your long urls - http://snipurl.com/ ------------- That worked, but not like I expected. I used to be able to see the taskbar and the bottom of I.E. at the same time. Doing what you suggested gets rid of the taskbar altogether and I still can't see the bottom of I.E. I don't want the taskbar to go away, I just want to be able see it and the whole screen of whatever I'm working on. Replied to [Doug]s message : > That worked, but not like I expected.

Signature→ Ayush [ Good :-) Luck ] ------------- Search - www.Google.com | Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org Snip your long urls - http://snipurl.com/ ------------- Auto-hide the taskbar is unchecked and so is Keep the taskbar on top of other windows. However, now my taskbar is gone altogether if I'm working in a window. I don't want that. I would like to have the taskbar stay, but that the complete window can be seen as well. I cannot for some reason see the bottom of a window that I'm working in. For example, at the bottom of I.E., you usually see the little bar that shows it's loading a page and other things (such as when you hover over a link on a page it'll show you what the link's URL is) That's gone and I would like to get that back as well as keep the taskbar visible. Replied to [Doug]s message : > Auto-hide the taskbar is unchecked and so is Keep the taskbar on top of > other windows. Dont uncheck "Keep the taskbar on top". Read my first reply again : Uncheck "Autohide taskbar" AND **Tick** "Keep taskbar on top of windows" → Ayush [ Good :-) Luck ] ------------- Search - www.Google.com | Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org Snip your long urls - http://snipurl.com/ ------------- Maybe you're talking about the Status Bar of the IE and you are mixing it with Taskbar. If that is so, then in IE, click View menu and make a check mark on Status Bar. Hope this is what you are looking for, let us know!

"Keep Task bar on top of other windows" - is that not exactly what is happening and what you *don't* want? If you doubleclick the application window (eg IE) in question, it will resize/maximize so the lower edge is sitting just above the taskbar. > Auto-hide the taskbar is unchecked and so is Keep the taskbar on top of > other windows.

The problem was specific to I.E. like in the previous post. I went into View and switched it like he mentioned and it is working now. I was sure it was a taskbar problem, never even crossed my mind that it was specific to I.E. I feel like a doofus...:) Thanks to everyone for their tips! You're ALL-WAYS Welcome.
