Windows Maximize Over Start Menu

from WinCustomize Forums
Ever since installing Window Blinds when I maximize a window it covers the start menu. I believe this is because I have dual displays and so my maximize size gets set to the whole window? On my main desktop I do not want the windows to maximize over the start menu. I am using a Matrox G550 if that helps.

Thanks,
Jason

Pretty sure you mean the taskbar....... Although I don't normally use the Window's taskbar, I just turned in on and ran a test (I also run dual monitors). All I had to do is, right click the taskbar, select properties, and check the entry that reads "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows". Maximized windows do not cover the taskbar.

Sometimes when running some applications that use directX (or OpenGL?), the taskbar might lose that "always on top" property.
Dunno why....

Mostly happens to me after playing a 3D game...

It's usually fixed when I hit the Windows key and click on the taskbar to focus it....
