not sure, but what you could do is get a systray manager, drag your address bar off the taskbar and put it on the desktop (or use active desktop to integrate it in), and hide the taskbar.

i'll search around for the taskbar info, though.

I just want to know how to get ridd of the taskbar completly, maybe even stop it loading at startup.

Anyone know hoe to accomplish this?

for gstarr:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

"NoSetTaskbar"=dword:00000001

"NoTrayItemsDisplay"=dword:00000001

"HideClock"=dword:00000001

"NoToolbarsOnTaskbar"=dword:00000001

"NoTrayContextMenu"=dword:00000001

"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000

haven't tried those. found that here under "remove the taskbar." i assume you just do the ones you're looking for.

zoot, i'm not sure if there's a way to completely disable the taskbar. you could change the shell. but i'll have to see what i can dig up.

edit: i don't think there's a way because the taskbar is part of explorer.exe. you could disable that, but that's not a good idea.

Using an alternate shell would rid of the taskbar. Just make sure to use a shell that has a DDE server plugin or one that is included.

#56409

#56410

not sure. that's what was on the site i found.

edit: now that i think about it, you should head on over to www.virtualplastic.net and see if they've hacked something that can do what you're asking for. ask on the forums over there.
