Increasing the auto-hide delay?

Bard

My taskbar is "auto-hidden" at the top of my screen. I'm strange like that. Thing is, while this is actually the most practical place for it from my point of view, the time delay on the autohide is too short and I'd like to be able to increase it. It pops up far too easily when pointing at app' title bars, close buttons, menus, etc. and it (apart from my trackball!) drives anyone else who is using my machine completely bananas

Anyone know a way of increasing this autohide delay time ?

ahh just put your taskbar down to the bottom in steed of being strange of havin them at the top, thats the only help I can offer !

jd

maybe this registry setting-haven't tried it though
jd

Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
Value Name: MenuShowDelay
Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value Data: 0-999 (milliseconds)

If anyone's interested- I found a couple of little tweak gadgets that allows you to customise the taskbar autohide settings including the delay.

They can be found here
