How do you stop taskbar autohide on startup?
Good morning forum members,
The guy I share a cubicle with here at work has a strange problem. Every time his computer boots up, his taskbar is in autohide mode. He right clicks on the taskbar, turns off the autohide feature, and resumes his work. The next time his computer boots up, his autohide is on again. What is doing this? I can't find any setting in his taskbar properties that has the autohide start on bootup. I can't find anything in msconfig or his startup folder, so it must be a registry thing. We are using windows 98 here at work. Does anyone on this forum know how to stop this from happening. I look forward to your ideas. Thanks. PMADDOCK |

right click on the toolbar and then hit properties, or go start-settings-taskbar and start menu, it will show the auto hide box to click.

I know how to do it or undo it by right clicking on the taskbar and clicking on properties. That is not the issue. We just don't know why it keeps setting it to autohide automatically after bootup. We uncheck autohide, he boots his computer up, and it is activated again.

It is possible that this is being prevented by your sysadmin preventing users from saving system settings.
Try changing the setting then logging off user. This may force it to save the setting with out a reboot where it seems to be loosing it

Being that he is using Win98 and they do not have any local security, I do not see how that is possible.

sorry about that, guess it helps to read the whole question :-( but that is a good one, never heard of it before, maybe something in tweak UI could help (if you can load up that program)
