Need help with Z-order issue.

My taskbar keeps getting caught behind my windows. So I have to go into
taskbar properties, check and uncheck "keep the taskbar on top of other
windows", then hit apply. What is causing this and what do I do to fix it for
good?

Hi,

Did you install the google desktop tool?

And if not google desktop, some other app you have installed might be doing
it. Since you even know what Z-order is, you could probably use a good
process viewer like Process Explorer from sysinternals to watch that.

Yes I do have Google desktop. I will be removing it in a week or so anyway
due to being on a Christian college campus with controlled internet sites. I
would guess that removing Google desktop will solve the problem, so thanks
for your post Rick Rogers.

Thanks for your post Mr. Ferguson. I do actually have Google desktop. I am
sorry I portrayed myself as someone who knew what he was talking about. I
just new the name 'Z-order' from a previous post in which no one knew why my
taskbar was acting up. So I do not even know much about what you said, but I
am sure it would have been helpful if I did not have Google Desktop.
Thanks again,
The Shadow

So, remove the Google Desktop, it is not required.
I tried it and thought it was a joke, it went POOF in a matter of hours.

I am sorry, but I am a little confused. What went "POOF" in a matter of
hours? The taskbar or Google desktop?
