I cannot get the autohide for the taskbar to continue to work. When applying the autohide it does hide until you put the mouse pointer down to the taskbar then it reappears and will not rehide even if you click on the desktop. Is there another setting that is conflicting this one?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've recently re-sized my task-bar to hold my usual desktop icons in the quick-launch area and moved the bar to the left of the screen with auto-hide enabled. All was well until recently when it began to remain on-screen for about 1 min when not in focus. Then it recently began to open on start-up at a size of only 1 icon wide instead of the previously set 3 icons wide. I've made no such changes to the configuration and am curious to know if anyone might know why/how it seems to have obtained a "mind of its own"???
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am a drafter and I use autocad alot. When you build an autocad drawing it automatically save a backup file (e.g. dwgname.bak). I like this feature and I do not want to disable it but I do want it to hide all files with a .bak extension. So I go into the folder and highlight all .bak files and hide them and it works perfectly but next time I build a drawings and it creates a .bak I can see it until I hide it again.
View 14 Replies View RelatedThis may seem petty but here goes. There is a 'Language bar' toolbar on the taskbar. I can right click on the taskbar>toolbars>and uncheck 'language bar' but every time I restart the machine the language bar is back on the taskbar. Anyone know how to keep this from happening. It's not too big a problem, it just adds clutter to my taskbar that I don't want there.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to unhide this folder and KEEP it unhidden because the backup software we are using cannot see hidden files. I go to properties, uncheck hide. It asks me if I want to unhide just the folder or all files and subfolders, I do all files and sub folders. No problem.Then, when I reboot, I go to check it, and it's hidden again.Is there any way to stop Windows from automatically hiding it on restart?
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo I made a folder with a bunch of shortcuts, then dragged the folder to the top of my screen to turn it into a toolbar. I like it a lot - the only problem is , when I go to close a program in the top right corner, I frequently hit the top of the screen so the toolbar pops up - this is rather annoying. It also happens if I put the toolbar on the left side of the screen - pops up whenever I try to hit the 'back button' on firefox.Anyway I was wondering is there a registry settings or some settings to change the delay, so that it only pops up if I hold the pointer for a certain amount of milliseconds?

I want a single desktop click to enable/disable windows XP taskbar auto hide.I can do this if I write a script for the AutoHotkey macro tool to open the relevant dialog box and then check or uncheck the appropriate check box.I'd like to open the dialog box with a command line from AutoHotkey, or a similar operation. Right-clicking the taskbar even in the program is uncool.The catch is, I can execute any CP dialog EXCEPT this one as a command line, either passing a dialog parameter to Control.exe or else using a *.cpl file name with Control.exe or directly. But I can't find "Taskbar and Start Menu".

View 8 Replies View RelatedIf you are like me and you like your desktop perfectly clean to see your background, then here is a good tweak. If you are using the regular start menu(not the classic one) and you only have the recycle bin left on the desktop and would like to get rid of it and still have easy access to it, then listen here:First drag the recycle bin into the start menu and place it at the top so it is 'pinned to the start menu' along with i.e and o.e(both these items are pinned typically).Right click on the desktop and scroll to 'arrange icons by' and then uncheck 'show desktop icons'Now the recycle bin will be gone but you will still have access to it in the start menu.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an issue with my new clean install on XP. Every time I boot, C:Program Files keps opening. Here is the stuff I have tried so far. I looked in msconfig, the startup folder and in Startup on my programs list and it doesn't show up in any of these places. It isn't a new program, so it's not because I installed it recently. Here is HiJack This log for reference. I dont have clue what's to look in this. But may be it will help you. Similarly I have copy-pasted contents from autoexec.bat,win.ini and sys.ini for debugging. You may notice that there is TaskMgr link in startup. But its just one of my app I need on startup in my taskbar. It startup as minimized and it has setting "Hide on Minimized" checked in TaskManager. So It remains in taskbar always.

I have some hidden files on my pc. To view these files I click on a folder (any folder does it) click on tools, scroll down to options and change the setting to 'view hidden files'.But he has left my pc in a state such that when I go to tools the only options there are: 'map network drive', 'disconnect network drive', and 'synchronize'. It's as if my computer is on a network but it actually isn't.
