Is there a way in windows xp to have windows in front of or cover the taskbar?It's a bird. It's a plane. It's Mr. Seven.

I remember the setting in XP was "keep taskbar in front of other windows". yes thats what i mean

I searched high and low in windows 7 and there does not appear to be any settings to change whether windows are displayed in front of or behind the taskbar.
