I'm using keyclone, is there any way to permanently hide the windows xp toolbar at the bottom of the screen? I have it on auto-hide, but annoyingly, it doesn't stay away for good when I'm playing the game. It's probably some simple setting I'm overlooking, but for the life of me, I can't find it.

Turn off "Always on top" in your settings, and also turn off auto hide since it aint needed no more.

fixed :thumbsup:

the windows system bar will pop up if your wows get focus... it's kindly notifying you that the window you are in is aware of it (brilliant!) after a short time it goes away.

i'm not sure how to get rid of that behavior... anyone have any suggestions? registry setting?

Hmm well I got my answer from another topic that was active 3 or 4 weeks ago, for Windows Vista. I'd say do a search for it

Personaly I moved the bar to the left side of my screen, don't even notice it while playing

i'm not sure how to get rid of that behavior... anyone have any suggestions? registry setting?That's exactly it. not too much of a bother really, but really annoying nonetheless; sort of jars you out of the game experience. I guess I'll just have to leave a space at the bottom so my chat and buttons doesn't get covered with it when it does pop up. Other than that, my multiboxing experience has gone superb. Started it at about midnight, and already have 3 level-9 troll shaman :D .

I'm still hoping there's a solution that some genius out there has figured out.

Keyclone I will be forever grateful if you go back in time and give me this information a year ago when I was dying to figure out how to disable that god-forsaken flash that kept popping up anytime someone IM'd me while I was playing WoW and it kept fucking distracting me...now I simply don't run messengers and let IRC idle quietly in the background lol
