Subject: VNC viewer fullscreen does not cover Windows taskbar

<snip>
Today I switched to a different Windows machine and when I run the
fullscreen viewer (same version), the Windows taskbar refuses to go
away.

Thanks,
Todd






Todd:

Perhaps the problem is actually Windows taskbar behavior. Most
people just leave it alone, but its behavior can be configured.
Maybe it has been set to always be on top, or maybe it's locked and
that somehow affects it.

Thx, Phil

Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately the behavior has changed back.
I've tried a number of things, but I have no idea what happened or how to
get reproduce this.

Hi, Todd.

If you are running Windows XP and you right click on the Windows taskbar and select Properties, then a "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" window should pop up. On the Taskbar tab of the window, you should see a "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows" option. If you uncheck that and click OK, then the VNC Viewer (and other application windows) should begin to cover the Windows taskbar.

I hope that helps?

- Steve
