always has done - but its only the window toolbars that have been minimised and not the sys tray or quick start menu - although the sys tray does it on occasions - I've never worried about it because the "quick tip" tool bar doesn't show any more than what you can already see. In any case it would just end up hiding other tool bars. Try a google search.

When I place the mouse pointer on an icon on the Desktop Taskbar the Alt Text appears mostly hidden behind the Taskbar.
Sometimes I can temporarily fix this problem by grabbing the edge of the Taskbar, dragging it down until it is off the screen, then dragging it back into view and releasing it. But this rarely works, and when it does it is short lived.
AVG, Spybot S&D, and Adaware SE come up clean.
I'm using Windows XP Home Edition (it also happened when I was using Windows ME). I have TweakUI if thats any help.
Thanks for any help I can get to fix this.
Have a great day.
