Task-bar often fails to retract.

I think you call it the task-bar,
which was at the bottom by default.
I've moved it to the RHS; but still have the same problem:
it, for no reason which I can discover, often does not retract.
Like NOW it's obstructing 10% of the screen, including the
important top/RHS corner of this frame.

How do you people tolerate this MicroSloth crap,
which I'm forced to use for this particular wireless modem?

-> <start> -> taskbar -> stuff
didn't allow me to 'hide the task bar'.
How do YOU do it?

We lose the anti Microsoft attitude and learn to use what we have. I
assume you have "Auto-hide the taskbar" enabled, but it is not hiding
when you want it to. The taskbar will not retract if it has the focus.
Try clicking on something other than the taskbar when it is not retracting.

I just found that when I remove the USBstik, the task-bar
retracts. What an idiotic OS ?!

Perhaps purchasing a different wireless modem would be in your best
interest, then you could change to the operating system you of your
choice.

The OS is fine, the user is an idiot.

Do you have a ring of armed terrorists around you forcing you to use it?

I am trying to find a way to disagree with you, just to be ornery :-)

Without success...

I can't imagine how the OP's task bar occupies 10% of the screen. Mine
occupies 3.5% at the bottom, and when I move it to the side to check his
report, it drops to only 2.1%. Silly me, I actually measured these
numbers :-)

OT: I'm so used to the bottom configuration that I am *very* confused
while the TB is on the right.

Me, too, but I don't have quite that much time. . .

Hope you're enjoying your retirement as much as I'm enjoying mine :-)
