RightClick hiding taskbar

Friday, February 18, 2005 by rossburnett | Discussion: Stardock Support General

Out of stupid curiosity, I clicked the option to Hide Windows Taskbar, then could find no way of returning the taskbar or of returning the RightClick Menu. How would I do either when there is no taskbar?

DO you have a Right Click Configuration entry in your RC menu? You could use that, and enable the taskbar. Or you could open TaskManager, and kill RC. If you're using the latest version, when you load RC again, the Config dialog should pop up.

Thanks, that worked.
What's the idea befind hiding the Taskbar? I don't see how all the Taskbar functions could be imported into RC.

You can have running tasks, and the systray in the RC menu, and sure it doesn't have all the functions, it's just an alternative.
Some of us don't use the Windows taskbar/systray..... I haven't used it for years. I've used different apps, but now I use ObjectDockPlus for the tasks, and systray.

I used to always have the taskbar present, but now I hide it all the time. Well mainly because I'm on a laptop and it gives me a little bit more desktop space. That and I don't need to see it all the time. Generally use Alt-Tab to switch between running programs. And with Right click the systray is just a click away
