If you resize the taskbar so that it isn't visible different from Auto Hide , you should still see a gray bar on the edge of the screen where the taskbar is docked. When you move the mouse pointer over the gray bar, the arrow pointer should change to the resize pointer, allowing you to resize the taskbar so that it is visible. On computers with a Windows key, you can press the Windows key and the Start menu will pop out from the edge of the screen that has the minimized taskbar, revealing the location of the task-bar as well.
Windows Server has several features that control the visibility of the taskbar. You can enable the Auto Hide feature to hide the taskbar from view when it is not in use. You can lock the taskbar so that it cannot be resized or repositioned. You can also make the taskbar appear on top of other windows when you point to it. Once the taskbar is positioned and sized the way you want it, I recommend enabling all three of these options.
In this way, the taskbar has a fixed location and is visible when it is pointed to, ensuring that it isn't accidentally hidden behind other windows. You can enable these options as shown in the following screen by right-clicking the taskbar and then choosing Properties from the shortcut menu. Then click OK. Note Locking the taskbar doesn't prevent you from changing the taskbar in the future.
If you want to change the taskbar, all you must do is right-click the taskbar and then clear Lock The Taskbar. You can then make any necessary changes and, if desired, relock the taskbar to ensure the settings are protected from being accidentally changed. One of these interface changes has to do with how like items are displayed on the taskbar. In versions of the Windows operating system prior to Windows XP, each item was displayed with a separate icon. Beginning with Windows XP, similar items are grouped together to reduce taskbar clutter.
For example, if you open multiple MMCs and the taskbar needs additional room for other items, these consoles are grouped under a single button and are then accessible by clicking the button and selecting the individual MMC you want to use.

Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. It's a benefit to me. Now I have an Outlook icon on my taskbar. It never moves, never. No matter when I open it, or even if it's not running at all.
It's always the same, just like the radio in my car. Just because I put my car in gear first doesn't mean the stereo power button should move over somewhere else.
And since it never moves, you also get automatic shortcuts. As for the Outlook Express, yes. Microsoft got sued in the 's for including free things like Internet Explorer and Outlook Express.
As part of the government settlement, they had to un-bundle things. Now if you want the Microsoft email program, you can get it optionally but they aren't allowed to pre-bundle it anymore. Go get it from the Windows Essentials page.
It is saying that different ppl like different things. So the best solution to different ppl is to give them options or choices. NO choices or NO different settings means bad thing to some of them. Outlook Express There are Outlook. Neither one is as simple, versatile, user friendly, giving the same number of options and settings as Outlook Express.
Abandoning Outlook Express - the star - was a very bad thing to do. I can not get it from anywhere. I can not buy it neither That Windows Mail program is Outlook Express, it just got renamed back in , and again in But it's the same core.
Trust me if you want Outlook Express, that's what you want. Or you can pay for full 'big daddy' Outlook in Microsoft Office, but that might be overkill. Shawn ,. I do not have technical knowledge and can only tell about my own experience and differences between Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail.
Windows Live Mail is an online app and therefore every step or action is much, much slower.
