Snes9x doesn't hide the taskbar when going to fullscreen

Rate this one as a minor annoyance, but is there some way I can edit the configuration file so that Snes9x will hide the taskbar when I go to fullscreen? If I right-click on the "Snes9x" tab in the taskbar, it hides it, but I'd really be interested if there's a way to automate this process.
I'm running Snes9x v1.53 in Windows XP, by the way.

That is odd behavior; I have never had that. I assume you're talking the bar that contains the list of programs you currently have running, a clock, and the start button? I just to make sure.

Yes, that's the one.

i run into that bug occasionally. as you've seen, switching out of and back into Snes9x resolves it.
however, occurrence is inconsistent.

Probably should forward this to OV2?

he reads the forums, he'll see it. there's no reason to escalate.
a bug report with no consistent way to reproduce isn't terribly useful to a developer.
although question for OP - what make if graphics adapter are you running (AMD/ATI, nVIDIA, Intel, other)?

It's an nVidia GeForce 7300 LE.

ok, so it's not a driver-specific thing (my primary machine is using a Radeon HD6850).

Maybe it has to do with when he is switching to different monitor resolutions when going in/out of fullscreen?

no - i run fullscreen at my desktop resolution/depth/timings, there's no switch.

odditude is correct; I'm running the emulator in my monitor's native resolution, so there's no switching.

I get the same issue when switching to fullscreen. Perhaps its caused by the way SNES9x does fullscreen but I don't have a clue.

Probably caused by Windows scale function. Try to lower it to default 100% instead of 125/150%. This is a bug in Windows since at least a decade.
If this won't help your issue... well... I don't know.

the issue happens at the standard 100% as well. where did that guess come from?
