    Taskbar not showing when any program is open


    My computer did an update last night and now today when I open any program, the taskbar hides and all the icons look larger. How can I make it so the taskbar doesn't hide?

    :)

    Remove (open) programs from taskbar

    I'd just get a program called Ultramon. It puts a second taskbar on the second monitor, so if you have something up and running on the second monitor at all times it is displayed on that taskbar. It doesn't do exactly what you want, but it does solve the problem of wasted taskbar space.

    Remove (open) programs from taskbar

    Hey all!

    Ok, so some programs I have running all the time, like Spotify and Outlook. They are actually pretty much open all the time as I finally got around to plug in the second monitor. So it feels like a waste of taskbar space to actually have them be there, especially as I have them ready at hand in the notification area.

    It seems almost no programs can do this on their own, so does anyone know of anyway that this can be done?

    Thanks for looking!

    /Frick

    EDIT: I know Outlook since 2003 have the option to "Hide when minimized", and that's good and all, but it's still in the taskbar when it's up and running.
