Whenever I launch VLC or web page or word document, the windows 7 taskbar is always on top. I have been looking for this option in Windows 7 ( the option to let me disable the Taskbar on Top, not autohide).
Thank you.

I absolutely empathize. I DESPISE Microsoft's imbecilic tyranny over my taskbar, forcing me to perpetually waste a huge column of space on my desktop. Up until winXP, there was a checkbox for this, but then they decided that they know better than I how I want my desktop to behave. Idiots.
Rant aside, Taskbar Tweaker will let you relegate the damn taskbar to the background where it belongs: http://rammichael.com/7-taskbar-tweaker In version 5.3, set "disable topmost" to 1 or 2 in the advanced options. (See help file.)

Can you expand on how this application works? Maybe include some screenshots? – Burgi – 2017-06-07T16:33:00.563
@Burgi To access the "advanced options" window, click on the "7TT" icon in the top left and select "Advanced Options", then you can set "disable topmost" from 0, to 1 or 2 in that window, option 2 is probably what you want. Note that I customized other things with this utility, only that one setting in "Advanced settings" matters, the rest of your settings don't have to match mine.

2Have you considered enabling the auto-hide taskbar feature? – LPChip – 2017-04-24T13:32:15.783
