    Change the window state to be 2 and the border style to be 0.

    Does this help?

    Set the WindowState property to 2 - Maximized and the BorderStyle property to 0 - None. It should be over the taskbar

    Bare in mind though, this is not true Fullscreen mode. True Fullscreen mode doesn't use a window. Using DirectX can give you this power.

    Here you go. This will show you how to do it using DirectX8 in the zip file.
