Hello all,
I have recently upgraded from 7 to 8. Have only one complaint - in 7 I used to be able to make my taskbar thin while in the vertical (LHS) of the screen, it was a bit hacky, you had to:
Set the taskbar to autohide
Stop the "desktop window manager session manager" service
Restart the service
Turn autohide off
I had written a batch file and just set it to run at start and it worked fine.
However it doesn't work in 8 and examining the list of services, it seems that desktop window manager session manager has disappeared. A quick look at the wiki page says that it now cannot be disabled and is running all the time.
Is there any way to do this in Win 8?
To clarify, I'm trying to get this:
Instead of this:
Any options considered!
Thanks in advance
Jon
