Taskbar - Auto Hide

Why is the taskbar not accessible when set to "auto hide" while in other applications. Sort of makes multi-tasking a real pain in the ass. Now you could say I should set it to "always on top" but that defeats, first the purpose of "auto hide", and does not allow a full screen view of other applicatons..........particularly AutoCAD that relies on the command line being visible on the lower portion of the screen

Any help would be appreciated

When the Windows Task Bar is set to Auto-hide, all you should have to do to
see it is to run your mouse to the bottom of the screen. It should only be
hiding the Windows task bar. If other stuff is missing, that's a different
problem.

Thanks for the reply but you've misunderstood..............retreiving the taskbar by taking the mouse to the bottom of the screen is something I've been doing for many years. It simply doesn't work now..........other "stuff" is not missing, simply the case of having to minimize AutoCAD, IE, Acrobat or whatever to get to the taskbar. I realize "alt/tab" switches between apps. but that's not the point
