  • Is it possible in windows vista to hide the taskbar, but still be able to see the system tray?

    I want to hide the task bar, but then, I don't see the system tray. Is it possible to have the separate system tray?

    Hi arya78,

    It is possible to do the reverse of what you want - to hide some or most of the icons in the system tray bar while leaving the rest of the visible taskbar; However, you cannot hide the taskbar and let only the visible system tray icons because they are part of the task bar and the task bar should be visible so that they are visible.

    Sorry, but this is how Vista works.  If you try to get rid of the section in the taskbar, which shows open programs, it cannot simply be done without hiding the entire taskbar (including system tray icons).

    Good luck!

    Was one of these updates for a video driver?  If that were the case, you might want to go back to the previous driver in Device Manager.

    On the same note, ensuring that you have the latest video driver is also important if it wasn't one of the updates.

    Then, you should try to restart the DWM and ensuring that it is auto-start.

    In the search box, type "services".

    When the window appears, select services and check for the Desktop Windows Manager.  Try to restart it.  Then right click on the entry and make sure that it is auto-start.

  • Taskbar at the top, high Windows to hide under the taskbar when opened

    I had this problem with all versions of windows that I can remember since I've been putting the taskbar to the top of the screen.  Why Windows was never designed to properly use this configuration is beyond me.  In fact, it's a way far more productive things with the taskbar at the top.
    Anyway, I fixed this 'error' every time, but I do not remember how it was done before.

    Usually, to fix it I have temporarily move the taskbar, move the window in question down and bring back the taskbar. It is not very productive.  Most programs should remember their position when closed, but apparently are not remembered.  There should be a way to force windows to open on top of the taskbar.  I know I could auto hide the taskbar, but I don't want to do that.

    I use Windows 7.

    Hi, when I change my wallpaper or display the taskbar then restarted windows 7 (asus laptop) taskbar autohide, and change wallpaper unwelcom why I don't

    Hello

    This who exactly are you referring to when you say "change unwelcom why I do?"

    If the taskbar is hidden, point to where you saw last it show again. If you don't remember where you saw it, try pointing to the bottom of the screen first, then to the sides or top of the desktop, if necessary. You may need to move the pointer almost off the desktop computer to show the taskbar.
