Why does my task bar refuse to hide?

[Al Dykes]

I prefer the "auto-hide" setting for the task bar. The task bar will

behave properly for weeks and then for no apparent reason cease to

hide. When I go to the task bar properties panel, the appropriate box

is still checked.



I can generally fix the behavior by unchecking and checking the

auto-hide box but not always. Right now my task bar is always visible

and I can't fix it.



This is a W7 system but my XP systems occasionally do the same thing.



Can anyone point to a solution?



Thanks.
