I have Windows XP Home and have set the taskbar to autohide. When I am running some programs (including Internet Explorer and Netscape) when I move my mouse to the bottom of the screen to show the taskbar, nothing happens. I have to either minimize the program I'm in or press the windows key on the keyboard. It's just a pain in the you know what. Anyone have any help?

Masterpjz9,

Go to the taskbar properties (right click on the taskbar and choose "Properties") and ensure that "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows" is checked.

This should resolve your problem.
