Version: Hide Taskbar 1
Pros: First of all I had problems with the XP taskbar. I had autohide on but the taskbar didn't autohide for some reason. I checked some support forums and solutions seemed to work for some but some of the solutions were kind of complicated.
I didn't want to do anything too drastic so I decided to give this software a try. I installed "Hide Taskbar" and though the Editors review says otherwise, it works like charm. I just downloaded and installed it and after that my taskbar autohide works again.
I'm very happy with this.
Cons: Nothing negative has come up.

Version: Hide Taskbar 1
"It is great, it makes Microsoft's auto hide function work."
Pros: Have you ever had a problem with the the taskbar staying on top of your apps even after you check-mark autohide in Properties/General? "Hide Taskbar fixes that problem and makes the taskbar hide when autohide is check-marked.
Cons: no problems - does not misbehave

Version: Hide Taskbar 1
Pros: I like to minimize the stuff I don't want anyone to see to the taskbar and that when I mouse away from it it hides itself despite where the focus is.
Cons: Sometimes it doesn't force the auto-hide. Once in a while an IM window will steal the focus and hidetaskbar doesn't do anything about it.

"Very godd! Works as I expected!"
Pros: It fixed the lame-ass XP bug in which auto-hide does not work - it always shows, whether the mouse is over it or not. Thank you very much!
Cons: None; works perfectly!
