Dear all,

For maximize the usage area of the desktop in my Windows XP Pro, I set the
taskbar to be "auto-hide"... so it should only appear when I move my mouse
very down to the bottom.

But the annoying things happen all the time:

1) The auto-hide speed is too slow; sometimes it refuses to autohide;
sometimes it takes about 3-5 seconds for it to hide;

2) Sometimes the taskbar will mysteriously jump out even I did not move my
mouse to the bottom of the screen; I have already turned off the nofication
bolloon bubbles in the system tray using regedit. I don't want it pop up a
small window saying "your disk is full", "you LAN is connected" ,etc. So I
have already turned all these off...

But still these two problems persist. The taskbar always jump out
mysteriously. I believe it is trying to notifying me something(even I have
turned the notification bolloon off)...

How can I completely solve these problems? Thanks a lot!
