AUTO-HIDING THE TASK BAR
Some people like to make the screen a bit more
spacious by keeping the Task Bar hidden until they want
it back. (If it's hidden, you get it back by moving the
mouse to the bottom of the screen and then back up
again.) In order to have this happen with your Task Bar,
just find some empty space on the Task Bar, right-click
it, and select Properties from the context menu that pops
up. This gives you the Task Bar Properties page, and one
of the options is labelled "Auto Hide". In
order to activate it, click the small square to the left
of this heading, so that a check mark appears. In order
to deactivate it, just click the check mark for that
option and turn it off.
