Hide start button or taskbar

[Viper999]

I am trying to lockdown a desktop so the user only sees the icons placed on the desktop. Is there a way to hide the start button or the entire taskbar. I dont mean autohide as I dont want it to be visible at all. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Do what you say, and then press <Ctrl>+<Esc>...

Viper99, there are keys in the registry to really lock that taskbar, and it's easy found with google... or take a look at the "registry tweaks" threads in this board, and use the "quick search in this topic" feature (at the very bottom of the posts view)

u mean to lock

why don't u try group policy

there is a option

try to search deeply

u can first drag taskbar below the screen and lock the desktop from grp policy

I mean so you dont see the taskbar or remove the start button from the taskbar. I did not see anything in group policy that would do that.

Ugh.. Try Reading the whole post before replying with your nonsense

Have a look at this: http://www.codeproject.com/win32/AntonioWinLock.asp

You can find a sample program and also the code for it, in case you want to write a program yourself. Otherwise, try the sample tool, maybe it meets your needs.
