    Has anyone ever delved into this? I have found plenty code on the net but none actually removes the space where the start button was, ie: resize the task buttons area to take up this space. (StartKiller does it properly, somehow) Thousands of code snippets out there which are all basically FindWindow "Shell_traynotifY" findwindowEx "Button" ShowWindow SW_HIDE This clearly doesn't work! If anyone knows anything PLEASE help me out here, im going grey :((

      After you hide the button why don't you try moving other windows to the left.
