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.

Version: Hide Taskbar 1
Pros: Does what it says on the box.
Seems to work on vista ok.
no bull, just works out the boxCons: App author should change the app name: suggestion: 'TaskBar StayDown'
Summary: The editors review got it wrong: this app is not supposed to hide the task bar (windows does that for you) This app stops other apps 'stealing focus', or popping up the already hidden task bar - which is a pain when you're trying to work.Love it.... read more

Version: Hide Taskbar 1
Pros: CNET Staff didn't really catch how to use this. If you checked auto-hide taskbar in the properties menu and it simple doesn't... Running this little program forces the auto-hide to work when it sometimes doesn't want to.
Cons: I have not seen it fail yet but just started. the settings dialog has nothing but an exit button in it.
[not that it needs anything else but you get the option to exit in the menu that gets you to the settings so it's redundant]Summary: Give it a try, have auto-hide enabled, it worked for me and it's better than having a program work WITH windows auto-hide, than against it in my findings. read more
