      I thought it would be in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced, but found nothing definitive.

        If you are talking about the Auto Hide option, this setting does not have an API for changing it, so you may have to do some spelunking.    Peace!

          Are you sure that's what you want to do? I would never use an application that did that to me. Perhaps you want your application to be "Always on top"?

            I'd have to agree with ledmike. Did you buy this computer for the end user? If not, why should you mess it up for them? They may *want* their computer the way they like. If you supplied the computer, then change the taskbar before you send it to them? If you need to cover the whole screen when running, I'll be skeptical, but you can use an always-on-top style. At least the use still has their pc the way they like it for when they're not running your application. Iain.

            Iain Clarke appears because CPallini still cares.

              The taskbar should be 'not top most' when my application is running. I set it to 'not top most' at the InitInstance() and to 'top most' at the destructor. I can not change the mainform of the application to top most from some other reasons... thanks!
