Hide the Help Bar

[tony]

I can't use the Min Max or Close button because the help bar is covering it.  Can someone tell me how to turn off or move the toolbar.

[tony]

No.  Those buttons are for the individual drawing file.  There are min, max, and close buttons for the program behind the help bar.

[pendean]

is your AutoCAD maximized? See the noted I wrote in black to confirm.
In your screenshot those buttons look off-screen, not 'hidden'.

[tony]

Here is a screen shot when it is window mode.  I am running 2 screens but even if I turn 1 screen off it doesn't get rid of this problem.

[pendean]

I'm only running single screen, and AutoCAD needs to be fully maximized in order to avoid the issue you note.

I'm not sure how to fix your issue, but here are a couple of workarounds:

1) Maximize/Restore by double-clicking on the title bar, as Dean suggested; right-click on the title bar and select Close to exit, or use Windows keyboard shortcut Alt+F4, or the link in the "A" menu in the upper-left corner.

2) If you don't use anything on the toolbar, you can disable it entirely by editing the Windows Registry (be sure to back it up first).  Exit AutoCAD → Win+R keyboard shortcut → regedit → F3 key → search for Infocenter → change only Infocenter folders (first 2, I think) to InfocenterOFF (so you can restore them later, if needed) → Exit Registry → Restart AutoCAD.

Switch between your Workspace Control and the glitch will go away.

I win, good game.

[tony]

Nope.  I tried all possible workspaces.  It never moved. 

[tony]

It goes from windowed to maximized. No minimize.

Here is one way:

Disable Comm Center

Another way is a program I found only that will do it for you:

Amazing - thank you! This was super annoying having the bar cover the minimize button.
