Hi all,
I just got my new computer up and running from Dell. XP Professional with
all their garbage included, lol.
I note that it does not matter if I toggle the 'Hide Icons' block on or off,
the Icons do not hide.
I have the ones that always stay and if something is opened or notifies, it
appears in the Icon task bar area, but they are always in full view.
Each Icon's behavior is set to Hide when not in use.
The Task Bar does not even change configuration (ie: there is never the left
indicating arrow circle) between checking hidden or not hidden.
Is there something I can check on, or is there a fix that any one knows about?

Many thanks.
