Hi there,
I'm testing UltraMon on XP with 2 monitors and the SmartTaskbar turned on, set to "Always on top".
When I boot the computer the taskbar loads, "Always on top" is checked but ignored - programs span the whole monitor disrespecting the taskbar size.
If I then set "Always on top" to "No" and back to "Yes" it works fine - all programs respect the taskbar.
Is this a configuration problem or a bug?

Sorry, I've seen that there's already a thread about this problem.
Seems it's nView causing the problem - whenever I change a setting in nView the taskbar hides the bottom of maximized windows, even when I just click "OK" to close the nView window.
I think the problem at boot-time is caused by nView loading after UltraMon (not verified yet).
So I'm going to try to fix that by delaying UltraMon with a little batch script, hope that fixes it for now.

You can also delay UltraMon startup by setting the AutoStartDelay value in the registry, this is under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\<version>. Set this to the number of seconds by which startup should be delayed.

Didn't seem to work with autostart delay.
I've created a little batch that works:
@ECHO OFF
SLEEP 10
START /WAIT C:\Programme\UltraMon\UltraMonTaskbar.exe /stop
START C:\Programme\UltraMon\UltraMonTaskbar.exe
It uses "SLEEP" from W2K3 Resource Kit.
Just save as smarttaskbar.bat, link it from your autostart folder and you're done.
