    There is a tick in "Lock the taskbar".


    So have you tried unticking it and selecting 'Auto Hide the Taskbar'?




    There's something about "Combine when taskbar is full"


    and try setting this to 'Always combine, hide labels'

    I've just done that, Oblivion, but nothings happened yet as a result. Would I perhaps need to reboot?

    Shouldn't be necessary to reboot but no harm in trying.


    Can't think of any other possibilities I'm afraid.

    I've done both of those now, but still nothing. Shall I reboot and see if it's any different?

    That seems to have done the trick, Gun Jack! I purposely left it idling for about 1/4 hr and it was fine when I came back!

    I am thrilled to bits, so thank you ALL so very much for doing your very best, I really do appreciate your skills and time.

    Many thanks, Sue.
