If you want to free up as much space on your desktop as possible, you can hide the display of the taskbar. If necessary, you can take advantage of its capabilities in a split second.
Necessary
Windows XP operating system
Instructions
Step 1
Initially, I would like to describe the process, how it will look from the outside. After the user sets the appropriate parameters in the settings and saves the changes, the taskbar disappears from the desktop. To use it again, you just need to lower the mouse pointer to the very bottom of the screen, and the panel will return to its place. As soon as you remove the pointer from the taskbar, it disappears again. Now let's talk about how you can activate this option in the Windows XP operating system.
Step 2
Click on the taskbar with the right mouse button, then, in the menu that appears, go to the "Properties" section. You will see a window on the monitor with two tabs: "Taskbar" and "Start Menu". Switch to displaying the taskbar options. In the tab that opens, you need to check the box "Automatically hide the taskbar". After that, you just have to accept the changes by clicking on the "OK" button. Thus, you managed to hide the taskbar.
Step 3
If we talk about the possible disadvantages of such an option, it is worth noting the following disadvantages. First, you cannot set the time for the panel to disappear and appear. Secondly, due to the system malfunctioning, you may have to wait a bit before the panel appears on the monitor screen. Usually it is displayed instantly.
