Windows 7 maximizes over taskbar!

[toddngina]

I'm running Windows 7 natively in bootcamp, as well as running it in parallels using the bootcamp partition. In either case, I now have a problem where all my windows now maximize over the taskbar, requiring me to minimize the windows to get to the taskbar again. Very inconvenient. I've looked through all the taskbar properties settings, and nothing helps. Windows XP had a checkbox to "keep taskbar on top of windows" or something to that effect. I don't see the same in in Windows 7. Anyone else having that problem or have any solutions?

It may be a bug in the OS. Hopefully they'll have it sorted out by the end version.
