Right-click on it, select 'Panel' and then the minus-sign at the top will remove it. What I prefer is to have it minimized when it doesn't have focus; then maximized windows do maximize. That you can do by checking the 'Automatically show and hide the panel' box. Patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
