I first search the forums but did not discover anything relating to hiding the taskbar entirely. If I missed it, pleae send me a link.

Otherwise, any help would be appreciated.

Try this

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSetTaskbar"=dword:00000000

This is not my code, i simply searched for "taskbar reg tweak" and found this

i got it from here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=11672&st=0

i dunno if that will work 4 u tho

regards

if that doesnt work, try a program like "RegSnap" take b4 and after snapsshots and compare them

@MCT - Thanks for your time and help but I have already spent quite a bit of time doing regshot compares but have not found an answer yet. Also the key you pasted did not resolve the issue.

I am still searching for a solution....anyone is welcome to help

To completely remove or hide the taskbar you have to modify the windows shell. There are small programs out there that will remove the task bar when ran. But brings it back when exited. Could download one of those and put in the registry to run on startup. As far as modifying the shell, it is a little more complicated.

there's a program called TweakPower. it let's you set the transparency degree of the taskbar. you can set it to 0 with it and the taskbar's gone. the taskbar stays removed even if the program is closed so you might wanna give it a try.

the program is in german, so here's how to manage it:

after you started it click on "windows" on the left side, then on "desktopdarstellung".

in the mainwindow click on "effekte" and move the slidebar to the left. the effect will appear immediately
