Problem

I have my Win 7 taskbar set to autohide but its often pops up... and just stays visible, obscuring the bottom of all other programs (since they are behaving correctly (as if the Task Bar isn't there b/c it's supposed to autohide). Any way to force it to HIDE again?

Fix for: Any way to force the Windows Task Bar to hide (if in "auto hide" mode)
