I might give this a try if I get tired of the taskbar being at the top of the window. However, it involves more use of the mouse - which I try to minimize.

On the other hand, once one knows of the workarounds, the cruddy implementation of taskbar behavior in XP is no big deal. will white ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ There is something fascinating about science.
