How to Hide the Taskbar so that User Cannot Get to It
Keywords: hide taskbar task bar
Question:
I want to hide the taskbar. Is there any way to do that with WinBatch?Answer:
Try this
AddExtender("wwctl44i.dll")
#DefineFunction ShowTaskbar(Show)
window1=cWndByWndSpec("Shell_TrayWnd","explorer",3,304,303,40965)
WinID=cWinIDConvert(window1)
If Show
WinShow(Winid)
Else
WinHide(Winid)
EndIf
#EndFunction
ShowTaskbar(@FALSE)
Message("","Taskbar is hidden")
ShowTaskbar(@TRUE)
Question:
I have developed a screen combining boxes and a dialog box. Looks very nice. Trouble is, if the taskbar in Win95 is moved around, top left for right, the alignment is off between the box and dialog box.Do you know how to determine the postion of the taskbar? I have searched high and low, used a registry monitor program, nothing.
Answer:
I think the taskbar position is saved in the ShellIconCache file in the windows directory. But it is a binary file and I have no idea on how to read it.In cases like this I usually just make a smaller screen so that the taskbar could be anywhere and my screen is still visible.
