I have seen posts on many forums about being unable to autohide the taskbar even when the "hide" button is selected. This is what I have found and seems to work. To enable autohide: HKEY_Current_user\Software\Microsoft\Windows\current Version\Explorer "enableAutoTray"=dword:00000001
To disable autohide. HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion/Explorer "EnableAutoTray"=dword=0000000
Manual Edit; You may have to create a DWORD value in that key named; "EnableAutoTray" and set the value to 1 or 0. In the above a 1 will enable autohide and a 0 will disable autohide.
Sometimes opening task manager and stopping explorer and restarting it will fix the autohide feature.
