Full Screen F11 - Enable or Disable Auto-Hide

INFO: This will show you how to enable or disable Auto-Hide for Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer IE7 when in Full Screen F11 mode. By default, Auto-Hide is enabled.

NOTE: Auto-Hide for Windows Explorer and IE7 works pretty much the same way it does for the taskbar. When in full screen F11 mode, Auto-Hide hides the address bar and toolbar until you move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen. When you do, the address bar and toolbar slides open.
