    Well, as the title of the post can state, I'm trying to hide the taskbar and the desktop in vista and Seven. I already did it in Win XP and older OSes, but the real problem are these... :( In WinXP I used ShowWindow and FindWindow. If anyone could lend a hand, it would be great. Ah, almos forgot, I'm using VS2005 Thanks in advance, Caio P.S.: I accidentally posted the same question in another group (General Programming), instead of posting it here. Sorry :)

      To hide the taskbar, you just do it like what you did with xp: right click on the task bar, go to properties and select auto hide. For hiding the desktop, I actually bought Vista Manager and one of its function is to let you enable/disable the hide desktop function. Try the demo, it will actually do it for you.
