    Completely hide taskbar?


    Hey.



    I was wondering... Is it possible to completely hide the task bar? So it is never visible at all (unless you hit the Start button to open the start menu, for example)?

    This is for HTPC use. I'm using an application called MediaPortal which runs in fullscreen and hides the task bar, so it's fine while MediaPortal is running. But whenever I launch external applications or start/shut down the computer, the taskbar is visible for a few seconds and I'd like to avoid that (geeky I know :P)...

    So... is it possible?



    Thanks in advance!

    .......or you can auto-hide it: Right click on taskbar and choose properties and auto-hide under taskbar tab.
    Taskbar appears when you mouse-over it.

    Thanks, this seems to work.

    Even though I have one weird problem... I added it to system startup and it only works if I add a ~10 second delay to it
