Does anyone know of a way to be in "FULL SCREEN MODE WITH MENU BAR", but to still have the windows taskbar being displayed? In CS2 XP, the taskbar was always displayed in that mode, but in CS4 64 VISTA, it unfortunately doesn’t draw the taskbar in that mode anymore.

I’m stuck in a bad situation becuase I *must* be able to see the taskbar at all times and I *must* be able to freely reposition the image anywhere I want on screen, and that’s impossible right now because of this…

Anyone know of any hack around this problem? thx.

I’m having the same problem…. CS3 it worked fine and in CS4 it completely hides the systems tray, task bar, and windows start menu… I know there are "work arounds" but what about people that use a wacom table to do all of their work and need to get to something on their task bar… well they can’t now because it’s completely hidden…. it’d be nice to have some help with this one please!

It’s not that convenient, but you could always prees "F" to reveal it and "F" to return.

The Windows key should bring up the taskbar even in Full screen mode.

I having the same problem. The taskbar used to be visible in CS3 while if fullscreen mode, but now it isn’t. I can use the Windows button, but that’s one more button to hit when I didn’t have to before.
