Taskbar Auto-hide No Longer Works
Oct 17, 2008
I've recently got this problem where my taskbar will no longer stay hidden. Once I boot up it will auto-hide for a short time then it just stops working as if my mouse is always hoovering over the taskbar. I can then disable and then re-enable the feature and it will then hide until I put my mouse over it and then it will no longer hide. The only new thing that was done before this happened was installing Vipre Antivirus software. I've tried disabling that to see if that was the problem but it still remains. Does nayone have any ideas what would cause this and more importantly how to fix it?

I want to be able to stop users being able to change the auto-hide setting of the taskbar on a windows vista machine. Anyone any ideas how to do this? I want it to be set to always auto-hide so the solution either wants to stop the user being able to change this or maybe as a second solution if they do change it then i want it to be reset when the machine is rebooted.

Sometimes when watching a video in vista media center, the screen control's won't auto hide. The mouse cursor also won't disappear like it should when mouse is kept idle. A reboot of PC fixes problem but I'm hoping someone has a solution other than having to restart my computer multiple times in a day.

I've done some research on the internet and can't seem to find a decent resource for this question, so hopefully someone here can help. My taskbar was translucent by default, and remained that way for a week or 2, but now, it is just solid black. I was told to make sure I don't have any maximized windows, becuase that will cause loss of translucency, but the taskbar is solid even when I have no windows open at all. All of my other Aero translucent objects are displaying accurately, but for some reason, just the taskbar is being difficult. I'm not sure if there is an option to turn the translucency on/off, or if there is something else I'm doing that is forcing it to be solid, but does anyone here have any ideas?

I have an advent laptop with vista ultimate operating system. (1 year old). I no longer know what to do about facebook..... Ok i never used to have any problems whatsoever. I have Kaspersky security, however facebook used to work perfectly well. So it cant be that??
I have explorer 7. Again never used to have problems. I have tried using other explorer versions, e.g. firefox, opera etc. I did try to upgrade to explorer version 8, but for some reason this download would also not start. I have checked all settings, ran explorer with add ons and no add ons. I have no viruses etc. I run clean up and registry mechanic regularly. I restart and defrag. Even tried system restore! I just do not know what to do next........

Cruzer jump drive does not work with Vista but does work on my other comptuer with XP. It did work until recently but now the system wants to format the drive instead of allowing me to drag and drop files. The multimedia drive also quit working.
Using Vista Premium on a Toshiba A205 -S4607. Have been unable to find an email for tech support from Toshiba. Will not buy another computer from them!
Can anyone provide a fix. Have tried using and earlier restore point along with deleting the UBS drivers under System - devices but to no avail. Mouse, printer, keyboard, and Matrox external disk drive are all recognized.

The recycle bin icon on my desktop has stopped working. Instead of the glass filling up whenever I delete something and then emptying when I empty the recycle bin, the glass remains resolutely empty. If I open the recycle bin folder the deleted files are there. How do I restore functionality

I have Vista Home Premium. When I use "Save As" in any application (for example, Wordpad), the "New Folder" button no longer works. Same fault when I download from the internet.
I need to first create the folder using Windows Explorer. When I try to remember what I might have done recently to cause that fault, it's possible that I made some mistake when using Brink's excellent tutorial to speed up Vista: Speed Up the Performance of Vista. BTW: Any mistake would be mine, because I've used that tutorial previously with impressive results

I just highlighted one and then held down the shift key until I reached the last
one to delete. That no longer works nor does any other combo. Deleting one at a time is real pain. Also, I'm trying to add the same windows newsgroups I have on an XP desktop to a Vista laptop and searching microsoft.public etc. is not bringing up anything.

An earlier thread mentioned the Conficker worm, how it is affecting Vista, and that the threat has changed. I have two symptoms of the worm - Windows Update no longer works (when I load it goes to a blank windows explorer screen, which I have force quit through Task Manager), and Windows Defender no longer works. I have used multiple Conficker removal tools (BD, F Smart, MS Removal) and none of these have found anything wrong. Any ideas if this is Conficker adapting or if its something else?

It hasn't automatically updated its JVS signatures since I installed the new service pack on May 27. I can still manually update, but miss the convenience of auto. I checked my Windows Firewall settings and created an exception for Avast. I have performed a repair installation of Avast and have even renewed my license key early. Is there some kind of incompatibility between Vista SP2 and Avast that I don't know about?

I have been using an external drive for backup - but as of today, I cannot 'see' it in 'Computer.' It is turning, but not showing up on my monitor. Is there any way I can check to see what the problem is? The cables seem fine.

a while ago a program was installed with window update. The application presented a window for handwriting. maybe Vista thought my Desktop computer was a handheld device? well i disabled that application and ever since it was installed, my touchpad (which is integrated with my keyboard and has its own PS2 plug) does not work. It does show up in a list of devices though saying 'functionin properly'

I tried choosing a picture and setting it to a desktop background. Still nothing. I terminated explorer.exe, The desktop background appeared. but since i terminated it, the taskbar and icons are gone. I Can't right click on the desktop, and when i move the cursor inside it, it's still "loading" for ever.

In XP I could use TweakUI to hide a disk drive from the kids and was still
able to use the hidden drive.
There is no TweakUI for Vista and I've tried to hide a drive with registry
tweaks(HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer)
and via command prompt (using diskpart). The problem is that both ways leave
hidden drives that are not usable. It's as if they truely do not exist.

I've run across a couple of applications (Avira Premium Security Suite, Spyware Terminator) that, despite choosing the "Always Hide" option for their tray icon, every time the computer reboots, they default back to "Hide When Inactive." Sure, it's a minor issue to set them back to "Always Hide" when I reboot, but is there some sort of tweak somewhere that will force these applications to remember the "Always Hide" setting, instead of defaulting back to "Hide When Inactive?"

There are some usernames that I do not want to be displayed on Vista Welcome Screen. I could not find a TweakUI for Vista to accomplish this. I googled and found a solution that concerned with the registry [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows NT CurrentVersion Winlogon SpecialAccounts UserList]. I added the usernames[DWORD32:0] under the key, but the username still appears on WelCome Screen

My alumni group website received an anonymous letter with invalid (fake ) address. This alumni group site is Membership Only. Members must provide valid e-mail addresses and nobody is to send messages to the group without membership and valid acknowledged address. So, my question is, how did this happen ? How did the message get through, and how did the sender use faked address and still be able to send the message out? We want to stop this.

I am running a new Sony Vaio laptop with Vista Home Premium installed (no SP1 offered to me as yet). My question is not one for the Outlook newsgroup (I reckon) but simply as to the path in Windows Vista leading to the Outlook Address Book. I ask because it was my custom to back up Outlook Express daily on to an external hard drive by drag and drop. I would transfer to related address book in a similar manner. Having upgraded to Outlook, I am able to back up that folder daily in a similar manner. But when I find the new address book, in .csv format, it does not relate directly to the new address book that I have edited in Outlook format. My question is, put simply, is there a proper address book lurking away in the background that is invisible to me?
