Vista - Taskbar is stuck in up position

I have had my taskbar set to auto-hide and everything has worked fine, now
it is stuck in the up position and will not hide. I have not changed any
settings (auto-hide, taskbar on top, group similar items are checked.). I
have tried unchecking taskbar on top to no avail. Help Please.

Try unlocking the taskbar and unchecking the items you mention. Restart the
computer and try checking them again. If that doesn't clear things, you
should be able to use system restore to before your problem to correct the
problem.

It's good to remember that rebooting solves many such problems. It's
almost always worth trying as a first step whenever anything doesn't
work the way you expect it to.

(with Vista Home Premium SP1) a few days ago. Rebooting is not a
solution (even though it has been Microsoft's solution to everything

there a REAL solution somewhere?

Hello Doug,
John also suggested system restore. Have you tried that ?

Hello,
Perhaps I should clarify one point. System restore is meant to UN-do changes made which might, or might not, cause the irregularities. It's not a band-aid solution, as you put it. Do it methodically, we could pinpoit the culprit. Thank you.

hi,
honestly, these "quote" windows are super boring, a waste of time and space, a delay of navigation, and more annoying then a parrot.
Do you use them for playing? Just Drpatt uses and abuses showing these around with addition, when it comes to read, it ends up with a few lines...is it going to be like this all the time around here? Thank you.
