Thanks Steve, that's a useful little snippet of information. In all the
time I've used 98, I've never run across that tip before.
I just tried it and sure enough, the taskbar disappears altogether - wow.
To anyone who's had this happen accidentally, you can bring back the Start
menu with Ctrl\Esc, which provides the opportunity to rearrange the setting.
