Taskbar acting weird; won't autohide & m

Can't get my taskbar in Win2000 Professional to disappear even though I've checked the AutoHide option. Also tried to uncheck the AutoHide option but it automatically turns itself back on. I've also tried unchecking the OnTop option but that has no effect--the taskbar is still stuck on.

Please help. The taskbar is blocking out the status bar on several apps. Only choice seems to be to resize the taskbar to a zero height.

Since you've already tried the obvious, as a temporary solution, why don't you just move the taskbar to another part of your screen?

I could, but I'm not looking for a work around; I'm looking for a solution to the technical problem.

Anybody know what's causing this to occur? There's nothing at the MS Knowledge Base about this.

My Windows 2000 system has a related but intermittent problem.

Autohide works fine for days, but then will stop working, ie, it won't hide the taskbar.

Turning Autohide off and on again resets it.
