How do I hide the Windows (XP HOME) taskbar on the left edge of my screen?

While I am in Firefox; I would like to hide the Windows taskbar on the left hand side of the screen, so that it appears when 'touched' by the cursor.

You can move the taskbar to top, bottom, left or right edge of your monitor as the TonyE and cor-el suggest, when it is not locked (right-click on a blank spot in the task bar; a check mark next to "Lock the taskbar" indicates it is locked; toggle locked to unlocked by clicking on "Lock the taskbar").
You can have the taskbar automatically hide, by right-clicking the "Start" button, click "Properties", click the Taskbar tab, place a check mark (click) "Auto-hide the taskbar" (note, no need to unlock taskbar to change this option). When you move the cursor to the position of the taskbar (left, right, top, bottom of the monitor) the taskbar will slide/pop into view; when you move the cursor away, the taskbar will again auto-hide. '''<u>The option is all or none, there is no option to hide it only when surfing the internet.</u>''' You can turn the taskbar back on (to always display) by un-checking the "Auto-hide the taskbar" option.

A "Bookmarks" window has appeared on the left edge of my screen. How do I get rid of it?

On the left edge of my screen, under all the bars, is a box with a black label "Bookmarks". Under the label is a search box, and under that are 3 dropdown entries, Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu, and Unsorted Bookmarks. Since there are other places I can get these tools, I want the space back that this thing is taking up. How do I get rid of it?

<blockquote>I have a close box so I can close it with a mouse click. My problem is that the sidebar appears when I open a new window with a 'right click - open in new window' link. My question is "How can I prevent the sidebar from appearing in the first place?"

How do I hide the "preview panel" in Mail. Double clicking the "separator bar" hasn't worked ( I think I know where that bar is.)

How can I hide the "preview panel" in Mail? Double clicking on the "separator bar" , as directed by Mail Help, does nothing. ( I am not certain where that bar is, but believe it to be the zone where the preview panel and the message space meet.) This issue only arose after I upgraded to Mavericks.

The only way I found to hide the "preview panel" is to drag the separator to the edge of the window. It shrinks the panel down to perhaps 1/2 inch in height and then disappears only when you drag it to the bottom (classic layout) or perhaps a couple inches wide (in the new layout). It is also annoying to me that you can double click to open the preview panel but you cannot repeat that to hide it. [sigh]
I submitted feedback about the help file as well - you may want to do the same. I could not find the double click mentioned in the new "Mail Help" - I know it was in the old version.

How to completely hide the Project Bin in PSE 6?

Is there any way to completely hide the Project Bin in Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac? I don't need it, and it's hogging screen real estate. I've seen posts that say it can be hidden using the Window menu in PSE 10, but that doesn't work in PSE 6.
Thanks!

Hi Barbara:
Thanks for your reply. I get no action clicking anywhere near the left edge, the right edge, or any edge.
The thing I want to hide is the entire gray bar that's obscuring the bottom of my screen. In the following image, it's the area that contains the words "Show Project Bin", plus the frame edge above it (the area for which the cursor turns into the double-arrow resizer).
Apparently, Adobe's idea of "hiding" the Project Bin means reducing it to the size shown in the above image from its expanded size, as shown in the following image:
I can "Hide" that large area by clicking on the "Hide Project Bin" button. But that doesn't remove the annoying project bin frame. I want the entire thing gone. That's what I haven't been able to figure out how to do. No amount of probing and clicking with the mouse reveals any way of exterminating that nuisance.
I'm probably missing something. It is unconscionable that Adobe would arbitrarily reduce my usable screen size by stealing control of my workspace, so I assume there must be a way to eliminate that "feature".
Thanks again.

Hi pearlyxiel,
If you have apps on your Home Screen that you don't use regularly and would like out of the way, you may want to create a folder for them and move them to a later screen. You can either do this from iTunes or directly on your iPhone, as outlined in the following articles:

How can i hide the menu bar at the bottom of the app in itunes

how can I hid the bar at the bottom of the App screen in itunes. Where it shows how much audio, app etc space you have left on your device

Unforrtunately the status bar doesn't make any difference, however I have worked out that the bar does show when I go into full screen.
I would have thought it should also work when not in full screen - it certianly used to.

How can I hide the bookmarks sidebar once I've selected a site to got to? At the moment it remains, taking up a huge proportion of the screen and requires another click to get rid of.

how to auto hide bookmarks side bar

First, some clarification:
* The location bar (often called the "awesome bar") is the larger bar on the left that shows you the address of the page you are currently viewing. As you type in the location bar it searches your history and bookmarks for matches.
* The search bar is the smaller one on the right. It typically displays an icon of whichever search engine is currently selected and may display search suggestions as you type in it.
It sounds like you are referring to the search bar rather than the location bar. You can change search engines for the search bar by clicking on the icon on the left edge of the search bar and choosing a different one. You can also choose "Manage Search Engines" to remove ones you aren't interested in using.
It also sounds like Bearshare might have changed your homepage in Firefox. To restore that you will need to open the preferences menu (click Tools > Preferences), go to the General tab (first on the top left), and click "Restore to Default".

How can I hide the password and user name in url???

Hi experts,
I'm creating a login page and know I have a problem.
The Username and password are verified in a Java class, after checking the user and password, the user should be linked to the portal.
So far everything has worked well.
But when I call the lin like this
res.sendRedirect ("/ irj / portal j_user =" + UserN + "& j_password =" + passw);
then the user name and Pwasswort appears in the url.
Can someone tell me how can I hide the password and user name???
It will be very helpful.
Thank you

If there is no specific reason that you have to use sendredirect...thne you can try request.forward.....
RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("pathToResource");
rd.forward(request, response);

How can I hide the borders and keep it as an option?

How can I hide the borders and keep it as an option? I had someone go into the css I believe, and make it so there were no borders visible on the page (I could see the dotted outline while working on it, but when pushed, it wasn't visible (which is what I wanted). They called it "noborders." Since I had to reinstall, it went away. Help?
I have Dreamweaver CS5.5

Try this site: CSS Border
Add code then type in a zero. Later add border size you want.
examples: border: 0px solid black;
or
border: 1px 000000;
or
     border-top-style: solid; 0px 000000;
     border-right-style: dotted; 0px 000000;
     border-bottom-style: solid; 2px 000000;
     border-left-style: dashed; 1px 000000;

How do I hide the background when I shape an image in 3D?

This is a problem that has cropped up before but I'm going to simulate it.
Say in this instance I want to overlay the picture of a kitten over a ball image. I've already extracted (roughly) the background from the kitten picture. I want to use 3D to warp it to the shape of a sphere but I've still got the ball's default background colour as well. How do I hide the background colour of the ball entirely so only the, warped, image of the kitten is visible to overlay over the ball image?
When I wrap the kitten image onto a 3D sphere mesh preset I get the default background
And when I try to overlay it over the 2D ball image the background prevents correct overlaying. I want just the kitten pic
Thanks

You apply the texture to the transparency of the material.
