Pooter Numpty

[raceboy]

Before I'm deafened by the shouts of numpty I don't know one end of a computer from the other and can just about manage to work the software I'm paid to
But thursday the harddisc decided to go pop, and our IT boys have fitted a new one, only trouble is all my settings and stored stuff have gone in the same round filling cabinet as the disc
I've managed to get most settings back how I like them, except one, previously the toolbar which runs accross the bottom of the screen would appear when you moved the cursor over it, and would hide behind my AutoCad window the rest of the time, but no matter what options I seem to click I can't get it to do that, it's bound to be mind numbingly straightforward so come on let me out of my misery

Right click the taskbar, select properties.

First page there should be an option to 'Auto Hide'

Thats what you are looking for...

What options do you get when you right click on the task bar? Is there anything that says hide task bar?

Exactly what i was trying to say!

Now thats what I thought but that doesn't work if I've got nothing open (well I only really every have AutoCad on full screen) then it appears and disappears but if I've got Autocad open then it doesn't appear

There's also an option to "keep the taskbar on top of other windows"..

You might want to try toggling that one to see if it gives the desired effect.

You want to right click on the task bar and switch on Auto Hide and Always on Top, on.

We have a winner and if thats what slinky was getting as well then as well
Knew it'd be painfully obvious, but if I tick to many boxes in one go I usually end up with a screen in bright pink, icons the size of buses, and the text in arabic
