[DONE]How to disable Windows 7 taskbar "Always On Top"?

[skywalk]

Hi,
After using Win7, I have to say the taskbar is annoying.
Does anyone know a way to disable the Windows 7 taskbar "Always On Top"?
I do not want the "Auto Hide" option as it pops up at undesired times.

Hi
You can hide or show the TaskBar as you like if is that what you are asking for

Code: Select all

TaskBar = FindWindow_("Shell_TrayWnd",0)
Start = FindWindow_(0,"Start")
  If IsWindowVisible_(TaskBar)
    ShowWindow_(TaskBar,#SW_HIDE)
    ShowWindow_(Start,#SW_HIDE)
  Else
    ShowWindow_(TaskBar,#SW_SHOW)
    ShowWindow_(Start,#SW_SHOW)
  EndIf

Thanks Rashad!
That works, but the area occupied by the taskbar is blocked out even when the taskbar is hidden.

But, if I enable "Auto-Hide the taskbar" and run your code, I can then recover the extra window area reserved for the taskbar!

Do you know how to programmatically select the "Auto-Hide" option?

Thanks again Rashad!
Starting to enjoy Win7 now.
