Problem with taskbar autohide

[Onkel Neal]

My folks called and say their Win 7 PC is autohiding the Taskbar and the Browser bars when the browser is open. When the browser is not open, the taskbar acts normally.

I worked this over the phone, so I cannot say I "saw" it, but I had them right click the taskbar, properties, and the taskbar auto hide feature is unchecked. Had them check it, and then uncheck it, but the bars still hide and pop up when the browser is running.

Any idears?? :cry:

There you can choose for yourself by right clicking on properties,as you mention yourself

Yeah, that's did not seem to work, though. According to their description over the phone, the taskbar and IE menu bars auto hide when the browser is open.

Otherwise, the TB is normal... cannot find anything on Google about it either. :-?

If I have understood things correctly, so you want to have it locked and not hidden

[Onkel Neal]

That's right, Vendor. :yep:

Ok, update: I had them check the Fullscreen option and that was on, maybe someone hit F11 accidently. I did not see how that affected the bottom taskbar, but maybe it was bad communication on my part. We are back to normal, thanks! :salute:
