If I allowed anyone with in 10 feet of my computer I'd do that but every 
time some one else has touched a computer of mine, they cause problems so I 
let *no one* touch any of my computers anymore unless they buy it and then 
they pay for my time fixing it if they mess it up.  I know what you mean 
though, this way, I set it how I want and I'm happy. I really don't mind the 
taskbar there though.
