This is not the beginning of a great play but simply a question directed to David Poleman. David, when I go to task bar and start menues in control pannel, I had the item, "keep the task bar on top of other menues" checked. As you suggested, I unchecked this item but when I did I experienced the following problem: After leaving an application I was in limboland and had each time to alt-tab or minimize all aps to get back to the desktop. Now, when checking the item "keep the task bar on top", etc, I return immediately to the desktop after closing any application. It would appear that leaving this item checked provides improved functionality so I am wondering why it is recommended to have this item unchecked. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
