Windows(R) 98/ME MouseKeys:

activities. If you encounter difficulties when the Windows(R) taskbar appears
on-screen, enable the taskbar's Autohide feature:
* Click the Start button, then select Settings, then Taskbar.
* At the dialog box that appears, uncheck 'Always on top' and check
'Auto hide'.
* Click the 'Apply' button, then the 'OK' button.
You also have the option of relocating the taskbar to different sides of the
display screen:
* Click and hold down the mouse pointer on a blank area of the taskbar.
* Drag and release the taskbar on the side of the screen where it causes
the least interference.
Note: If you need to access the taskbar or the Start menu at any time while
the program is running, press CTRL+ESC. To return to the program, click on
the program's display area, or press ALT+TAB until the program's icon is
