Taskbar not staying hidden

This has happened to me with XP, Vista, and now Win 7. When I set the
taskbar to auto-hide it will work for a while and then the taskbar will stay
up all the time. I have to go into Properties (the settings are still as
they should be) and uncheck auto-hide, save it, then go back and check the
auto-hide and it will work again for a while. What gives? Suggestions
please.

Thanks in advance... Bob

It's a bug, but I can save you a couple of mouse clicks. You don't need to
check and uncheck autohide. Simply clicking the 'ok' button once you've got
the properties screen up will suffice.

You would think after all this time a bug could be worked out... Bob
