Toggle taskbar?

how can i make hiding/viewing the taskbar as easy as clicking an icon?

the first time i googled, i came up with this:

http://chiragdalal.tripod.com/howto/showhide_taskbar.html

but i didn't know what file to save it as so i just named it a .bat file but when i clicked on it, it just opened the console and immediately closed it.

my next search came up with this:

and i thought maybe there's a way to make a file execute a keystroke such as "Ctrl+Esc"

BTW, i'm in Vista x64. help would be appreciated

The first link is delphi code & the second one only will work if you don't have the taskbar on top option checked in taskbar properties.

Are you looking to just bring it to the top of open windows or toggling it on/off?

it doesn't matter. as long as it's a button that i can link to a dock.

Sadly it doesn't re-adjust the windows just like an AutoIt script I found.

It can be done by sendkeys but, is pretty sloppy and shows the start menu each time.
