Huh?? You have to move the mouse down to the bottom of the screen anyway to go to a different task bar button, so what's the big deal. You might as well have it hidden while you're not using it.

You have to wait?

On one User(WinXP desktop) I use Autohide, the Taskbar is useless 95% of the time. For a different User I use the Litestep desktop and keep the Taskbar visible. Though the WinXP tasbar is useless the Litestep taskbar is usefull having cpu/sys temps, time/date, ram useage, and even WinAmp controls in it. Another factor for me would be Mozilla's Tabbed browsing which eliminates most of the need for the Taskbar.

Alt-Tab....my mouse NEVER goes to my taskbar. Windows key for the start menu. Alt-Space for minimizing/maximizing, Tab/Shift-Tab for moving around in doument. F4 to go to a different website in IE. I don't have a mouse.

 

[kindest]

i dont like hiding the task bar.

 

[friedpie]

why autohide if you are going to use full screen??

um, autohiding the taskbar gives me that much more screen space for IE.

 

[TheBoyBlunder]

Yep... It's amazing how many don't know the secret power of alt-tab.

When you fullscreen IE, you don't see the taskbar even if it isn't in autohide mode.

I used to use it on my laptop and my 17" monitor. But now, with my 21" monitor, I tunrned it off. At work, I have a 17" monitor, and I have auto-hide turned on.

It is extremely annoying, because it is way too easy to accidentally access. Not only that, but what's with having the top 1 pixel line?
...so I just don't bother with a taskbar
