If you want to gain just a little more screen real estate when using your applications, you can configure Windows XP to automatically hide the taskbar until you need it. With the Auto-hide option selected, the Windows taskbar will disappear when it is not required and the application you have open should expand to fill all the available screen space.

Moving the mouse cursor to the bottom of the screen will cause the taskbar to reappear when you need to access it.

1. Right-click on the taskbar and select "Properties" from the context menu. The "Taskbar and Start menu Properties" window should open.

Right-Click Taskbar Properties



2. With the "Taskbar" tab open, put a check in the box labelled "Auto-hide the taskbar".

3. Also make sure there is a check in the box labelled "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows".

4. Click "OK" to save the changes and exit the properties window.

Auto-hide Taskbar Option


The Taskbar should now disappear. To make the taskbar visible, simply move your mouse cursor right to the bottom of the screen.

If you want to revert to the default taskbar configuration and turn off the Auto-hide option:

1. Move your mouse cursor right to the bottom of the screen until the taskbar appears.

2. Right-click on the taskbar and select "Properties" from the context menu. The "Taskbar and Start menu Properties" window should open.

3. With the "Taskbar" tab open, UNCHECK the box labelled "Auto-hide the taskbar".

4. Make sure there is a check in the box labelled "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows".

5. Click "OK" to save the changes and exit the properties window.


The taskbar should now be once again visible at all times.

Note:
If you have selected the Auto-hide option, but the taskbar does not appear when you move your mouse cursor to the bottom of the screen, it may be because the "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows" option was not selected as outlined in the instructions above. In such a case, close all open applications to reveal the Windows desktop, and then moved the mouse cursor to the bottom of the screen. The taskbar should now reappear.

This is the preferred method.

* System -> Administration -> Synaptic Manager -> Settings -> Repositories.
* Here you can enable the repositories for Ubuntu Software and Third Party Software.
* For Third Party Software select Add -> enter the repository's address. It will have a format similar to:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted

* Example: To add the Medibuntu repository, Add:

deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ jaunty free non-free

* Download the repository key to a folder.

* Example: The Medibuntu key can be downloaded from

http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg

* Then add the key from:

System -> Administration -> Synaptic Manager -> Settings -> Repositories -> Authentication -> Import Key File...

* (Alternatively, you can manually add the key from the command line Terminal. See Add Repository keys.)

* Refresh the package list from the new repository:

Synaptic -> Reload

I normally try to shy away from the “press release” type of blog posts here, but this is too important. We are trying to get this message out quickly and clearly in a coordinated manner. Hence if you follow our forums and our other official channels of communication, you will see very similar text.

The net of the story is simple — we listened to you. You said quite clearly that TVSU was a tool that you found valuable.

We do have a long history of listening to customer feedback. Your feedback brought back the stripes to the ThinkPad keyboard, added the Windows keys in 2006, supplemented our on-screen wireless on/off tool with a hardware disable switch, and yes, had a touchpad lay down alongside a TrackPoint in harmony on a ThinkPad. (Sadly, however, it won’t make 4:3 displays come back, no matter how loudly you scream.)

Keep it coming. We do listen.

Recently, Lenovo announced that we were changing the way we handled system updates going forward. Basically, we were discontinuing ThinkVantage System Update (TVSU) for individual use and directing those customers to our public support site for driver and BIOS updates. Never removed was the ability for business customers in managed environments to access, download to their network, and then apply these updates as required.

There were several business reasons for this change. Regular scheduled update requests were being sent to the Lenovo servers with the subsequent downloading causing very high traffic - yielding performance issues and, in cases, causing a decline in the customer’s TVSU experience and confidence. Balancing the high cost of that already existing solution and the additional investment required to improve performance and reliability for our customers has been a difficult process and led to a more difficult decision which resulted in disabling of TVSU on April 1.

Following our announcement, however, we heard from many customers on our blogs and forums. We’ve heard clearly that our individual and business customers alike value TVSU highly. Therefore, we are adjusting course based on your feedback, and have released a new version of TVSU on May 31st. In addition, we have made some backend investments which should indeed improve system performance.
This version can be launched by the customer and it will find and install applicable updates for their system, as before. We also have a new tool, Message Center Plus, which we encourage you to download, as it provides a fast conduit to important advisory messages and helpful information about our products and services.

We value our customers’ feedback, and we hope the deployment of this new version of TVSU proves that. Thanks for your partnership with us, and the loyalty you have shown to TVSU and the other services we provide to our customers.
