QuestionTaskBar Eliminator Pin

Tested in W7-64 only: never had a problem of a stuck-open TaskBar with XP or Vista.

Bedeviled by Windows #whatever~7 locking your TaskBar open, and ignoring your 'Auto-hide' = 'checked' setting ? I know I was. At random, perhaps every hour or so, I have been having to open the Task Manager, kill Explorer.exe, and then re-launch Explorer.

This strange little program puts a stop to that[^]

I say 'strange,' because it comes as a simple '.exe' file, you run it, and ... it runs in the TaskBar ... well, most of the time ... in W7-64- ... sometimes it seems to disappear. Hint: when you exit the Preferences window, hit the Close button on the Form, do not click the 'Exit button.

But, when He Hid ... He was very, very Hid: it will indeed hide your TaskBar, but it will not restore your TaskBar to "normal behavior:" but, I would rather hit Alt-T than open the #%%!0* Task Mananger and kill, and re-launch, Explorer again !

When it's running you use Alt-T to toggle the TaskBar visibility, or Control-Shift-T to open its preferences windows. You can select to have it opened when you boot.

best, Bill

p.s. Be assured I have examined every possible cause for the Win7 TaskBar sticking open from unopened Action Center messages, to looking for Malware, to examining every running process in the TaskBar. I believe this is a bug in Win 7.
