hiding the taskbar

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Is it normal for the task bar to stop hiding if you have five or six windows
open?
Mine as always done this I can have something running and then then be on
the internet and the taskbar stops hiding and this can be a problem when you
are needing to get to the bottom of a page.

Doesn't happen here: 7 IE windows, 2 Excel windows, Sage Accounts, OE and
Solitaire open. Taskbar hides as normal.
