Auto-Hide toolbar won't hide?

Some reason when I try to check my auto-hide toolbar in Vista, I get a window
that says, "A toolbar is already hidden on this side of your screen. You can
have only one auto-hide toolbar per side".

Yet, I don't have another toolbar hideen, and I'm only using one screen...!?

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks in advanced...

Tried that. Unfortunetly didn't work.

I think its a bug, vista thinks I have another toolbar/taskbar hidden when I
really don't. Is there a reg setting or something I can to reset its variabel?

Open Task Manager and Regedit.

<shift>+<ctrl>+<right-click> on the Start Menu & select 'Exit Explorer'

In Regedit, navigate to:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]

delete the value named 'Toolbars'.

In Task Manager, select 'File' -> 'New Task' -> type 'explorer' to restart
the shell.

If that doesn't do the trick, repeat deleting 'TaskbarWinXP' as well. (I
can't test right now).
