Default PPT viewer doesn't cover up Windows taskbar

When we show a ppsx file in the PowerPoint viewer, the Windows taskbar always stays on top. Does anyone know how to make this go away?

Switching between 'Presented by a speaker' and 'Browsed in a kiosk' doesn't help.

Meanwhile we changed the taskbar setting to 'Autohide', but that still is not ideal.



Many thanks!

Default Not possible on event screen

Thank you very much for your reply!

We came across these solutions before posting our question on the forum, but since the Viewer was being launched within an event system as one of the items that could be clicked by anyone passing by, those were no options.

We were hoping there was some general 'Hide taskbar' setting that could be checked within the Viewer before launching the event screen.

In an attempt to reduce the 'damage' to a minimum we just used the pc's 'Auto-hide the taskbar' :-)

Not sure I understand what you need but I would have thought the shortcut method in the link would work?

Thanks again, John. The event is over and we cannot check it anymore in the right setup, but we will most certainly keep this in mind and try it next time!
