Taskbar, Hiding to Make Screens Deeper

 

The Windows Taskbar is a bar across the bottom of your screen listing all the programs you have running simultaneously. If your display mode is set too low (DietPower supports resolutions as low as 800-by-600 pixels), the Taskbar can be a problem: it obscures the buttons at the bottom of DietPower's dialogs.

 

To fix the problem, you must activate "Auto Hide," a Windows function that hides the Taskbar except when you drag the mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen. To activate Auto Hide:

  1. Click the Start button in the lower-left corner of your screen.
     

  2. Click Settings > Control Panel > Taskbar. The Taskbar Properties dialog will open.
     

  3. If the "Auto hide" choice is not already checked, check it.
     

  4. Click the OK button.
